2001 Shafer "Hillside Select" Stag's Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon

Bid on this 2-bottle lot of 2001 Shafer "Hillside Select" Stag's Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon (100RP, 98WE, 96VN, 96WS, 95CG, 94W&S). Wine Advocate: "The 2001 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select is the first of these back-to-back perfect wines from Shafer that, at age 13, is still a baby, but, wow, what an amazing wine. A fabulous growing season produced a wine with inky/purple black color, stunning crème de cassis notes, with additional hints of lead pencil shavings, spring flowers, cedar wood and forest floor. It is full-bodied, sensationally concentrated, with a seamless integration of acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol. This is a great, monumental Napa Cabernet Sauvignon that is still an infant, at age 13, going on 14. This has got at least three decades of life left in it... (RP)" (12/2014)
