  Musty upon opening. Faded w a decant, came around for a while, deep rich coco puff flavors, earth, then seemed to fall off.

  Decanted 4 hours before drinking at Hollywood Bowl, smooth with decent nose. Was past its prime as some flavors were subdued but still enjoyed by all.

  Nice concentrated fruits and good balance. Nothing wrong with it but nothing special either. Probably won't improve much.

  Opened and decanted for an hour. Nose was quite full with spice and oak. Interesting color dark but a bit on the the golden side. Rich taste with notes of citrus and spice. Processes strong oak influence. Definitely opened at exactly the right time

  I read some of the other tasting notes and I disagree. I drink a lot of Sterling Reserve wines, and I think the 01 blows the 02 away. I was a big fan of the 00 Reserve C/S, but I think the 01 is drinking better at this point in time. The 01 still had some backbone and structure with some solid fruit. I have one or two more bottles of this wine and I will drink in the near future.
