| Coffee, cocoa, vanilla extract, blackberries, asian spice, bacon fat and anise. All follows through on the balanced palate with tons of fruit, tannin and acid. Long finish, very young.* | | |

| I actually like the 02 better for near term consumption. I think that it will peak in a couple of years and drink well for another 5. I don't think it will age as well as the '01. BTW, the '03 might be the best one yet, even better than the '00 which is the best vintage of this wine, imo. Very good stuff.

| | I preferred the 2002 last night, though it was obvious the 2001 was the better wine. Hopefully I can attend a comparative dinner like thia next year with the 2003's in the mix. | | | |

| Jason...thanks for the notes. Have been contemplating purchasing but have seen mixed signals on a good number of '02's.
Jason/J_B...a little curios. Opinions on the '03's appear positive? | | | Chris Peterson | |

| It's like varying degrees of awesome. The '03 is rich, viscous and extremely concentrated. The '02 in comparison has softer tannins and is more ready to drink. The '03 should be great. I had it in Spain from barrel.

| Amazing, and a simply enormous smoked mocha coffee, spice, sour cherry nose. Rich, viscous, port-like palate of blueberries and currant - rich, sumptuous finish. Lavish fruit flavours, globby, almost slutty, raunchy - whoa !
Surpassed only by the '99 Pagos de los CAPELLANES in a "ridiculously priced" blind Spanish tasting.
I just wish I would've bought a case of the '01's | | | |
