"The 2001 vintage is a terrific year for this consistently excellent wine. The nose is deep and refined, offering up notes of red and black cherries, strawberries, a bit of quince, orange rind, mustard seed, iron-like soil tones, coffee, a bit of game, roses and vanillin oak. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, elegant and deep at the core, with flawless focus and balance, ripe, well-integrated tannins, and good, sound acids on the long, intensely-flavored finish. This wine does not seem as buttoned up behind its acidity as is normally the case at this stage of its evolution, and is really quite lovely to drink today in a nascently complex sort of way. I would still bury it for a good, solid decade to ensure that it blossoms fully before having at it in earnest. Lovely juice."
