A strong effort from Carbonnieux, this seductive, forward 2001 builds incrementally in the mouth, revealing a Burgundy-like character with its forest floor, sweet cherry/plum, and smoke characteristics. Soft and easy-going, it offers considerable pleasure as well as complexity. Drink it over the next decade.
Pleasant and fruity, with cherry and berry character, light to medium body and a fresh finish.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
