This is my first posted tasting note so please be kind. My son,s father in-law was kind enough to bring this to supper while we we in Portland last week
When opened, the immeadiate area filled with wonderful smells of berries,jam,and mom,s fresh out- of- the-oven spice cake.Amazing aroma, I have not experienced that before.
The taste: huge mouthful of berries,cherries predominant,almost velvety on my tongue.The tannis were there, but just, sort of lurking in the background.The finish seemed to go on forever. A wonderful wine!The most enjoyable I have tasted so far in my short wine life.

Sounds fantastic. Keep 'em coming.

i also like the 1996

What could go wrong? That is a very expensive wine, I'm glad you had the opportunity to enjoy it. My wife gave it to me for my birthday 3 or 4 years ago, and I'm thinking about selling it (when she's not looking) !

nice note, brings back memories. I have a few, does not get much better than what you had.
