Schrader RBS 2001 750mL [Rare First Vintage]

2001 Schrader RBS - Wine Advocate # 195 - Jun 2011: In fact, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon RBS tastes more like a 3-4 year old wine than one that has a decade of aging. Still tightly constructed, it offers notes of spring flowers, blueberries, black currants, lead pencil shavings and pen ink. This full-bodied, deep, concentrated, stunning, intense, rich, full-throttle 2001 is also wonderfully pure and elegant with outstanding balance. Give it another 4-5 years of cellaring and drink it over the next 25 years. Both of these wines performed even better than they did when I tasted them from bottle eight years ago.
