Wine Advocate#153 (6/2004) Rating: 91 points Drink: 2006-2016
A dense ruby/purple-colored 2001 displaying gorgeous aromas of lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, smoke, spice box, and flowers. Supple tannin, medium to full body, terrific fruit extraction, and admirable texture as well as purity suggest this noteworthy achievement will drink well between 2006-2016. The 2000 was very good, but 2001 is even better, signaling a return of form to this long forgotten classified growth. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2004) Score: 90
Blackberry and spice aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with lovely ripe tannins and a chocolate, vanilla and fruity aftertaste. Delicious wine already. Best after 2008. 14,165 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Very deep colour, almost black/purple but does not have the look of over-extraction. Lovely nose, typical tobacco/cassis Médoc Cabernet fruit, but an extra edge of class, very ripe fruit and very clear savoury richness, just finishes a little hollow. |
