So happy to enjoy this vintage in my own home. First enjoyed this at Chateau Montelena for their 40th anniversary. Dry flavor with notes of raspberry and cherry. Slight oak scent with swirling that loosened the tannins yet held to great structure and smoothness. An incredibly aged wine that is at its peak.
