This week our group tasted nine Cabs from arround the world, all from the 2001. Really interesting what 20 years of aging can do depending on the terroir. This had pronounced bell pepper which threw me off (Bordeaux? Aussie?) ranked it in the middle of the (amazing) pack.

Going downhill. The stuff was there. Very interesting finish. Woody, pine resin. Celery salt on the nose.

All the raw components were there, but way too much acid, which pushed the fruit into the background. Marginal improvements with air, but overall, disappointing.

Great vintage, nice expression of McLaren Vale.
Chocolate is s must, spices and fruit are decorating and it has a fantastic tannin. Long and savoury. I have 2 more bottles but there's no rush to open them.👍
