This saturated deep purple-colored 2001 exhibits terrific fruit on the attack (currants, sweet cherries, dried herbs, and grilled nuts), medium body, fine density, velvety tannin, and a plump, concentrated personality. The tannin is well-integrated in this precocious, forward 2001. Drink it over the next 10-12 years.
Very pretty licorice and spice character on the nose. Full-bodied, with very well?integrated tannins and a long, long finish. This is slightly cooler and racier than the 2000, but I love them both.
Relatively pale ruby. Very heady, meaty, gamey nose. Neat, contained palate in classical mould. Quite intense. But the opposite of showy. Long and noble. Very grown up and sophisticated.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
