While I expected a more mature wine from the 2000 vintage, instead I found it with the 2001. Here I found a dark and exotic bouquet, with spicy sweet florals, black fruits, licorice and undergrowth. On the palate, soft, enveloping textures washed across the palate with fleshy, ripe cherry and strawberry fruit, giving way to minerals and a slightly oxidized, rusty note. The finish was long, resonating on earth tones, along with tart black cherry and hints of balsamic spice.
