From magnum. Needed about an hour decant for some initial funk to blow off. This is a thoroughly enjoyable wine in every vintage, and probably has a couple of years to go in this format

Still delicious, no ill effects from being "past it's drinking window" by 4-6 years. Fantastic herbal nose with strong nutmeg. Smoky, juicy dark cherries with a bit of bitter skin aftertaste, some spice on the end. Last of my early Uriahs, this wine is always a good experience.

Consistent with earlier tasting notes, this Merlot based Bordeaux blend is dark garnet colored with slight brownish tones, medium to full bodied, the fruits are starting to subside a bit and give way to non-fruit tones. It opened with a barnyard funkiness that dutifully burned off as predicted in less than a half hour. The black berry fruit is accented by a layer of truffles, black tea and fresh sauteed mushroom with anise tones and a layer of spicy black cherry fruits accented by subtle smoke creosote on a tangy lingering tannin finish.
