Not a great vintage; but this was a winner. Sort of “green” lots of fresh and dried herbs in striking to ripe red fruit. Drink now, slightly past peak.

My first and only bottle of the '00 after a good run with the '01s and a nice '98 last year. This one seemed tired. Lacks the acidity that allows the '01 to seem so youthful today. Nose is earthy, but simple. Palate is red cherry, but it falls off quickly. Nothing wrong here, we drank this bottle with dinner and it was fine, just not too complex.

Well past its prime. There used to be some decent fruit here, but everything is faded. Nothing much on the nose and no finish left.

Nothing on the nose. Some nice dark fruit notes on the palate, but basically fading quickly. Almost no finish. Seen better days.
