Fully mature red and black cherry with leather and cooked mushroom aromas and flavors, all in complex and nuanced combination. Enough structure to keep it fresh enough, this is a great Village level wine at this age.

Popped and poured. Earthy to start, this actually freshened up with time in glass. Slightly more red vs black cherry with earth, leather and cooked mushroom, yet brightness and energy emerged from the middle forward after 15-20 minutes in glass. Note to self...drink up my remaining bottles in the next few years.

Medium light red. Very spicy, peppery, funky red fruit nose. Quite intense. Delicious cherry and pepper flavours and a nice dry finish.
A second very good 2001 on this night.

Good Wine with an Exciting Super Bowl (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): Backward to start, so double decanted. With some air, this was rich and powerful with very good savory spice. Upside from here.
