91 AM.
Despite the high alcohol, the wine does not taste hot though there is a trace of finishing warmth and the tannins are almost hidden by the sappy extract. The style of the 2000 is much more forward than in either '98 or the '99 though it will take the better part of a decade to reveal its full potential. Delicious yet very serious.
