Visiting KK/Crystal and 7-day old Darren 2003/6/24

 Year  Wine  Price  Rating 
1999 Justin Isosceles, Paso Robles
Oak, cedar and mint, spicy, a little hint of wasabi/mustard feel, red berry fruit, concentrated, exciting finish - so - ws
40 ****
1998 Bahans Haut-Brion, Pessac-Leognan
tobacco, green pepper, currant, meaty, complex, oak, tannic, med-full body, has depth yet soft and ready for consumption, very long finish. - so - ws
39 *****
1997 St. Francis Kings Ridge Reserve Cabernet, Sonoma County
inky dark, dark fruit, plum, prunes, nutmeg, ginger, cola, full body, jammy sweet, extremely concentrated and silky, long long french oak finish that comes in waves. My memory recalls this wine to be more of black-cherry fruit a year ago. Presently, it is quite spicy. Constantly evolving, should be more integrated in a year. - so - ws
80 *****
