Pleasantly surprised since I recently tasted the Jordan 2002 which was skunked. This bottle of Jordan 2001 was delicious and smooth. Did not need much oxygen.

In my cellar since release…from Magnum, decanted for a family Holiday party and tasted over about 7 hours. This was really great over the entire afternoon and evening. Nicely balanced and on the more elegant side with more red than black fruit, nice minerals like a stony field and some light smoky/oaky notes that were well controlled. Silky smooth in the mouth and still quite lively and energetic. I liked this alone but even better with a variety of the pot luck appetizers different family members had brought. Best at about the 4th hour open in the decanter.

Allowed to breathe in glass 1 hour. Clear deep dark garnet color. Elegant bouquet of creme de cassis, blackberry liqueur, fennel, sage, bay leaf, bourbon vanilla, sandalwood, forest floor, dark baking spices. With swirling, some less attractive savory notes of meat juice, soy and balsamic intruded. These dissipated after several hours. Medium-full body on the palate, nice balance, pleasantly tart, polished tannins. Improved with air, held up fine under vacuum stopper in refrigerator for four days.
