The Rothschilds are making enormous investments in this estate, so I’m expecting a breakthrough effort to emerge (maybe the 2003 qualifies). The deep ruby-colored 2001 exhibits a moderately intense, noble bouquet of graphite, plums, and currants. Elegant (much in the style of Lafite) with medium body, sweet tannin, and a lively finish.
Good core of fruit, with silky tannins and a medium to long finish of licorice, smoke and berry. Very good red.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 18/20 points.
