2001 Joseph Phelps Insignia

Community Tasting Note

95 Points

Sunday, April 11, 2021 - This is really coming into it's own. Mature and ready to drink with no hard edges. Note is from memory but I still feel this is a more classically styled Insignia compared to the 02'. it's not as flamboyant with more structure and I frankly prefer it to the 02'. I stopped buying Insignia after the 02' vintage when the pricing really took off. One of the reasons Insignia was so appealing was it's quality vs, price. Even at $100/btl it was well worth it. At closer to $200 there are a lot of other options to challenge it.
