A very nice wine but overshadowed by other vintages I had at a vertical tasting. (1999 was best.) May be on the downside. Still had good fruit, not a lot of tertiary burgundy flavors, which was surprising.

There are some animale barnyardy things to the nose and a cellar dankness. The fruit is sweet, dense and powerful and it is voluminous and has plenty of grunt in the mouth. It just wasn't that pleasant and perhaps there are better bottles of this out there.
