Finally open this 2001 vintage in April 2016. Very nice. Lovely taste with pleasant smoothness. Was unsure when we opened it as to what to expect. We were very thrilled. What a great drop

Might have rated a couple of points lower if this was not a 10 year old bottle. Aged amazingly well in temp controlled storage. color still solid and purple with a hint of reddish browns. Mature blackberry and spice on nose and palate, integrated tannins. Medium duration on finish. I expected this to be a taste and dump based on the age. this drank better than the other bottle I had 5 years ago!
