Good medium red. Aromas of roasted plum and animal fur. Smooth, lush and sweet; softer and less powerful than the '96 but has plenty of chewy material. In fact, this is rather elegantly styled, not to mention easy to understand and drink. Showing well considering that it was bottled just a few weeks ago.
