From memory, so short note. Perfect spot right now for this one. Classic profile of leather and violets, tar, mountain herbs. medium-full body with very present acidity and superb tannins. Slow oxed for 6 hours and then had from bottle over about an hour, excellent throughout

Nose of mushroom and prune. Palate is mostly dried fruits, dusty. But the tannins are still surprisingly strong on the finish— making it significantly more lively than the ‘99 or ‘00.

Very good balance, with notes of raspberry, blueberry, spice, tobacco, oak and rose. A little dry, and lacks complexity, but nevertheless, very pleasurable.

This hasn't been a favorite of mine. I'm glad I popped it. It feels a bit tired. Time to drink up.
