- Already lightly bricking at the edges with subtle secondary hints, including spice, earth and lactic acid aromas followed by ripe, sweet, round and intense medium full flavors that offer good persistence but not much complexity, detail or finesse and frankly the wine seems awkward and not especially well balanced. This is also aging very rapidly and I would be inclined to perhaps wait one more year and then drink over the next 2 to 3 as this will not make old bones.

- ($75) Medium red. Superripe, rather advanced aromas of raspberry, chocolate, mocha, smoked meat and underbrush. At once thick and penetrating, with complex flavors of raspberry, strawberry, minerals, smoke and spices framed by bright acids. Finishes dense, powerful and long. This held up reasonably well in the glass, but it's far more evolved than a 1999 pinot noir should be today.
