The fruits are so consistent and fresh...even 15 years later. Raspberries, cherries, strawberries, pomegranate, watermelon, red vines, chalk, dusty crush rocks, nice acidity and balance. There are those that think WS wines don't hold up 10 years plus. My experience tells me very differently. Williams Selyem is still an under valved producer and part of me is the happier for it. Love the lower alcohol vs. today's production. The 01 still has a little time left.

Feb 13th, 2016The fruit is simply sensational. Ripe; raspberries, strawberries, pomegranate, dark and Rainer cherries. Chalky limestone, cinnamon stick, just a hint of nutmeg, other non-distinct minerals, great acidity and a long soft elegant finish.

Drinking realllly well. Still showing beautiful fruit, this had everything you could want from a 14 year old. Texture, balance and finesse.. And people say that Cali pinot doesn't age....

On the decline, but still drinking well. Fruit is fading, lots of mushroom and forest floor.

Feb 15th, 2015Pretty much dead. Lots of acid, not in a pleasant way. Menthol. Mushroom. A big letdown.

Oct 5th, 2014Mushroom, forest floor and cherry. Incredibly vibrant for 13 years old. Strong acid, soft tannin. Finishes forever. Fantastic.
