Notes
-----
Beet red-dark in color; nuance of black currants, slightly
diluted, medium-light bodied, very dusty tannins that seem
to decay rapidly. It's a toss up as to whether this wine is
a flop, or merely in a dumb phase - it reminded me of the
magnum of 97 Montelena Estate I tried that didn't seem ready
for prime time, but this wine could simply be over with. The
hosts seem to think this is one of the greats of the flight
- I totally disagreed, as did most everyone else.

Considering Parker wrote in 97 that the 95 was as profound
as the 94, maybe the wine is in a dumb phase? It didn't hold
a candle to the 94 IMO but maybe I got a bad bottle?
