You have to love surprises like that!
Tannins are one of the elements that allow wines to reach such ages - with time they gain elegance that simply can't be achieved any other way. You had tannins, they just were allowed to do what they are there for.
Haven't had the '95 Far Niente. Did open a '96 a couple of months ago and it was delightful.
T6 -
Good trade! So much for Merlot being inadequate, eh? Is the Silver Oak Napa or Alex Valley?
