Color: Rusted Ruby
Smell: Scents of an oil-stained cement floor, clove, old railroad ties, and dried red fruits.
Taste: Sweet notes of cherry, clove, and a wild hint of mushrooms.
Overall: Silky and feral notes of wild fruits and animal fur. Med body, high acidity, med tannin; a wine of class and distinction that is constantly evolving in the glass.

Tim's birthday (The Palace, Mission, SF): Pale to medium ruby; nose is intoxicating, beguiling, wonderful blend of almost floral, violet, some spice, red fruit, earthy, leather, super complex; palate is medium bodied, juicy red fruit, well integrated tannin, earthy fruit; medium finish. This is wonderful with an intoxicating nose. 95-96

Much browner than expected - compared to the 1999 it looked at least 10 years older. This birthday treat started in muted style with some acetone and hints of clove and not much else. Within half an hour it opened out adding sweet and sour balsamic cherry and burnt orange, eastern spices, a whiff of bonfire and the usual glorious funk. Later still the citrussy fruit dulled gently and there was more smoke and a touch of candy sweetness (this probably all sounds an odd selection of flavours but it is so difficult to describe this wine in words...). In general this bottle was more acidic than I remember from previous bottles so marked down a point or two. Finishes long, suggesting plenty of future. You don't need food with this and in any case it deserves centre stage on the dining table. Totally unique. I love this mesmerising wine, and this vintage is my favourite after 1991.
