Unquestionably some of the best Syrah on the planet, JLC made a wine that screams elegance in 2001. After an hour in the decanter is when it explodes to show its layered and intense aromatics and red fruited profile with smoked meats, lavender, saddle leather and a touch of savory herbs. The palate is juicy and bright with silky tannins, incredible balance and texture and a finish that just keeps going. 2001 is in a fantastic spot.

From a restaurant list. Vibrant reddish purple. Looks young in the glass. Great nose with notes of dark berries, slate, earth and a little menthol. A bit thin in the mouth at first. Got better with time in the glass. Didn't get enough air but showed it's potential.

Surprisingly cleaner than I thought, I have had lots of this wine oxidized
