One from my cellar

Opened a 2001 Lewis Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon last night and boy was it killer... it had started to develop secondary aromas of cedar and tobacco and was jsut beautiful. Starting to brown on the rim just a touch, the wine was full of black plum, anise, and cocoa. The tannins were quite soft and the wine had excellent balance and a long, long finish. While I think this wine will hold for another 5 years or so, I don't know if it will really get much better than it was last night. I think that these are wines to enjoy young...
