2002 Andrew Will Sorella

I think this is my last bottle of this vintage and it was the best. Earlier notes testify to the complexity, the silky texture and long finish. As the wine evolved in the glass at Revolution restaurant in downtown Durham with Connie and Hans, it offered just about every classic bordeaux blend aroma from black cherry, plum and currant to violet to mint and tar. It's a beautiful wine and also note that my first entry was more equivocal; I suspect because the wine was too young and perhaps shaken up in transit. It surely merits the 93 points given by Parker.
