I had great hopes for longevity for this one, but it looks like it is
about as perfect as it can get now. Surprisingly Burgundian nose with
a bricky edge and smooth mature taste. Acid and tannins balanced and
in the background. I have not nearly been as impressed with his later
efforts, but the '98s and '99s are delicious.

Thanks for notes. I liked the 2001 of this, but it was priced quite
high in my market.

So this thread shows on AFW, though L-Barton one didn't. Still just a
blank for poster (though now I've figured out blank = Ronin.

The problem is that the user name is "Ronin" with no >

user-supplied name without a supplied >, probably because
they want to use their "Author Profile" feature.

offers in my mailbox...

There's no need for a _valid_ one. Make up whatever bogus
you feel like, but just make sure that you don't use an
existing domain name (e.g. ) as that is often construed
as net abuse (it's classed as domain name forgery). However, any
address that ends in .invalid is by convention considered bogus, so you
can indulge your imagination to the fullest and merely end it with
..invalid (e.g., lid). I've toyed with the
idea of using as my return addy, but that could spell
trouble I suppose.
