Aug 31, 2009 2002 Bottle at the RB Rochester Gathering, Sept. 09. Thanks, Shadey.
Big oak aroma, like an aged sherry or a chardonnay, with caramel and light fruit. Low carbonation, and quite sour, as if a bit oxidized. Highly oaked and tangy, with fruity, citrus and sherry flavors. Probably past its best, but still very enjjoyable.

[Bottle #12 in the Kolding Blindtasting, 20th June 2009]
[vintage 2001]
Pours muddy brown with a small, steady, creamy, beige film head. Very nice and very soft aroma. Vinious, raisins, caramel, oak, plums, vanilla, biscuits; all rolled into one elegant package. Low carbonation, super oily mouthfeel. Flavour though, is even better. Lots of oaky presence, toffee, dark chocolate (a lot), raisins, vanilla. Long, lingering aftertaste with fine bitterness and sweet caramel. Warming. Damn, this is one brilliant BW that has been aged perfectly.
