Notes from memory. Dark in color, full and complex aromas of red fruits, earth, Subtle spice, Cedar. Much better than the 99

Rich, brooding, chalky, and big. Slightly one dimensional and not as many layers as I expected but overall this was a great wine. Give it an hour or two to show life.

Needs a LOT more time in the bottle. This wine is HUGE. Definitely on the fruit bomb side...much different than the 2001. Lots of dark cherry and rasberry...even hints of blueberry. Tannins are still quite firm and there is a hint of acidity. Will be interesting to try this wine in another 5 or 6 years.

powerful bourdeaux style, its still young but starting to aproach, gives 1-2 hrs decant and it will open very nicely. A lot of fruit and depth, full body and distictive noew of black currant, spices and mineral.

A flawed bottle may be affected by cork taint, heat (maderized), oxidation, or excessive sulfur. Additionally, some people consider wines tainted by Brettanomyces (Brett), a non-spore forming genus of yeast, a flaw although there is much controversy surrounding the subject.
