The 2001 at fourteen is garnet colored, medium bodied with bright cherry and black berry giving way to tones of cedar and leather with hints of green pepper and tar returning to a bit of cedar on the lingering finish.
Nose of cherry, cocao, and a hint of Rhone'ish funk. A complex palate of briar, sour cherry, green pepper. A bitter aftertaste that, at first, was ok. After 2 hrs of opening, that bitterness became more pronounced. I don't know how this will change after more air, but I'll check back tomorrow. My initial reaction was, "nice wine...90pts." But with that evident bitterness (not overly pronounced, but still there), after 2 hrs I'm thinking more like 87.

Drinkable, but not exciting. Dark, sour & brooding wine with little finish. Odd duck here.

More like a port than a shiraz. I don't think age will do anything for this one.
