The 2001 Vecina is dark, powerful and brooding, it always has been. Savory herbs, iron, tobacco, leather and menthol play off a core of intense dark red fruit, with potent tannins that wrap it all together.

Ultimately, the 2001 has aged on its brawn, but I found it more compelling a few years ago than it is today.
