I tasted this again at the Washington Wines 2001 expo in San Francisco. Still stemmy and oaky toward the end, but the nose is so gorgeous that I'm upgrading it to Delicious. Also, this wine has bit of a poopy smell, and I certainly don't mind it. We'll just say it has an earthy complexity and leave it at that. On the palate, forward fruit like the candied cherry and cassis in the nose.
Balance is fine, and the finish is short.
This one is fun and has character. Add your comment about this wine.
