Fairly bright and ripe wine.

Only took a coravin pour out of the bottle but it was missing some depth and texture.

Overall very good but a touch light compared to my expectation

Deep gold color with clear oxidation. I’m finding these wines with age are consistently oxidized

However, unlike the 2005 and 1997 - this wine still had a lot of life left

Really nice energy and fruit flavors that made this nice to drink once you adjusted to the oxidation

Very inky and robust. Shared towards the end of Ackers Autumn Harvest auction

Big dark fruit and great depth that was very smooth. Really interesting expression. You can taste the ripeness from the California sunshine

Amazing aromas from the beginning.

Needed airtime to show off.

Only downside was the mid palate and finish. It really fell flat and almost watery. Never really improved.
