Here is what the Wine Spectator said about it in 2001.
"Aromas of red fruit, meat, earth and cabbage. Medium-bodied, with light
tannins and a light finish. Very short. Not as good as from barrel. Best
after 2003. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 25,000 cases made. (JS)" It
gave it a score of 81.
