Medium-deep red. Plum, currant, mocha and brown spices on the nose. Lush and sweet, with moderate density and harmonious acidity. Perhaps a bit livelier in the mouth than on the nose. Not nearly as ripe on the back end as the '98, but has sneaky finishing flavor. Tasted May 1999 89-90 Points Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
