2001 Crocker & Starr Stone Place Cuvée
2001 Crocker & Starr Stone Place Cuvée - USA, California, Napa Valley (1/2/2010)
Seems a lot more like an 02 Napa than an 01. Really big black plum fruit. Overall sweet character. Huge mouthfeel. Dark chocolate, strong, slightly bitter, espresso. Mint. Toasty oak. A LOT more youthful than I expected at this point but not lacking in complexity. Excellent with about an hour of air. I don't think there is a rush to drink this but it is so pretty right now... this wine, in my opinion, has reached its highest potential. Wish I wasn't all out. (92 pts.)
