Had my first bottle with Marc & Hollie at Canlis ($220), then another bottle with Dad/Mom/Zoe/Betty ($220), then again with Zoe for her birthday ($220).
RP99 The virtually perfect 2001 Claret (80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot) is a tour de force in winemaking. It possesses extraordinary concentration, intensity, purity, and ripeness, yet retains an elegant style. With a spectacular perfume of blackberry liqueur, cassis, acacia flowers, graphite, espresso roast, and chocolate as well as a 60-second finish, this long, dense 2001 is still primary, but already fun to drink. 2006-2020.
WS96 An intense and powerful youngster, with vibrant, concentrated flavors that show off exotic spicy fragrances, with dense currant and blackberry flavors that finish with a potent aftertaste that gushes with fruit and tannins.
