The riveting, inky purple-colored 2000 Thompson Vineyard
Special Bottling (200 cases produced) offers up a tremendous
bouquet of roasted espresso, melted chocolate, licorice,
blackberry liqueur, and a hints of damp earth. This rich,
full-bodied, voluptuous wine is massive on the palate, with
a mindboggling unctuosity, thickness, and persistence.
The essence of Syrah, it can be drunk now or cellared for
12-15+ years.
(The WINE Advocate Issue 148)
