2001 vintage. Some oxidation on the nose, more evolved than expected. Better in the mouth, drinking quite well on the first day, dead the next day, so drink quickly.

Drinking very well now. Dusty rose, earth, and lavender. Still a few years ahead of it.

After a whole night of spectacular wines, some just don't excite as much regardless of how great they are. This was complex, savory with an elegant herbal quality. I wish I could have appreciated it more, but palate fatigue set in.

Oxidized? Cooked? Was purchased as a mixed case with '00/'01/'02, they all taste similar, someone trying to get rid of bad stock? really not impressed, has anyone else had better success with it?
