2001 vintage. Bot from MD?

Always love this wine. This vintage seems more fruit forward than other vintages with a lot of apple flavor. — 10 years ago
From Magnum, a monumental and tannic beast that needs at least 5 more years in this format. Charcoal and pencil lead into black fruit whose tannins create this black tea gestalt that hung there for over a minute. Even after an hour a bit monolithic, but did great with lamb loin, filets. This will get even better. Thanks again @benchmark and Brian & co @farm at carneros inn! — 10 years ago

Dark red color. Cherries and oak on the nose. Lush flavor of sweet berries, blueberries, plum, raspberries, violets, touch of white chocolate and sweet vanilla. Long finish, soft velvety tannin. Great with lamb. Check out this wine in Costco $36 — 10 years ago

Dirt. Tobacco. Awesome with lamb. — 10 years ago
Great full cab paired with steak and lamb. Fruity, tad sweet, hint of tobacco or something smoky sweet. Not as good as the 2006 though. — 11 years ago

Continue...non-alcoholic, kind of like a Korean red bull...so of course it goes with a Jäger... — 10 years ago
Had this 2008 bottle with rack of lamb. Still pretty damn good. — 10 years ago
Had it hidden in the apartment for a long long time. Wasn't sure how it would be after 10 years in so so conditions but it was fantastic. Delicious! Had it with a lamb stew and everything was perfect. Have a bunch of newer vintages in the cellar and counting down the time to for that special occasion to start enjoying them. — 11 years ago
