  December 26, 2019 - Musty upon opening. Faded w a decant, came around for a while, deep rich coco puff flavors, earth, then seemed to fall off.

  July 28, 2018 - 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.

  July 19, 2014 - Nice concentrated fruits and good balance. Nothing wrong with it but nothing special either. Probably won't improve much.

  May 12, 2013 - 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

  February 26, 2011 - 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.
