Out of magnum, very balanced with soft tannins.

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. Found it to be a bit tannic for my palate.

Wine of the night. Such awesome purity of fruit and the tannins are still very much present with a nice little lace of acidity. Great with a ribeye tonight. She’s a beaut.

Drank alongside an ‘01 To Kalon, the TK having marginally more pipe tobacco and compote dialed in. Superb, the TK a 95.

Beautiful wine... I was in the cellar this year and remember how healthy the fruit and vineyard was... Chiseled rows by hand... This was back when my father was in charge of the vineyard and cellar. Farming was pure and clean. It's disappointing to see how the farming has changed post 2004 (after constellation took over)... With that said you can still find beautiful organic farming adjacent to where this came from via @Graeme MacDonald To Kalon vineyard (not named To Kalon even though it is historically a To Kalon Vinyard and site). That along with a few others are the real To Kalon and real wines worthy of collecting in this area today... But this wine was delicious.

Aging like a champ, and still plenty of life ahead.

Solid wine. Nice blend. Good fruit and structure. Drink now or feel confident laying down.

Interesting nose and there is some life left but the fruit is somewhat plummy and seems ready to retreat. For now, it's still balanced yet not really persistent.
