                                | Tasting Note: | Wine Advocate#153 (6/2004)  Rating: 88 points   Drink:2004 - 2014 This estate is finally getting the tannin under control, as previous vintages have always been a bit rustic and astringent. The 2001 offers chocolate, espresso, and sweet black currant fruit characteristics in a medium to full-bodied, charming, structured, well-textured, seductive format. Enjoy it over the next decade. -Robert Parker
 
 Wine Spectator (3/31/2004)  Score: 90
 Smells like freshly cut flowers, with earth and berry. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing aftertaste. Compacted and refined. This estate continues to improve. Best after 2008. –JS
 
 Decanter Rating:
  Big, solid colour, quite rich on the glass, smokey, bacony nose, lots of ripe fruit, quite a fleshy wine, well-made, middle road Margaux, satisfying, but not high in finesse. (Tasted en primeur)
