Tasting Note: |
Wine Advocate #153(6/2004) Rating: 89 points Drink: 2004-2018
Made in an elegant, approachable style without the blockbuster depth and meat found in the finest vintages (2000 and 1996), this is a dark plum/garnet/ruby-colored, seductive, evolved, delicious 2001. Aromas of black olives, cedar, cassis, damp earth, and licorice, medium to full body, soft tannin, and an easy-going personality... - Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2004) Score: 90
Clean and sleek, with tobacco, berry and plum character, medium body and a silky, fresh finish. Firm and balanced Lynch. Best after 2007. 40,830 cases made. –JS
Decanter Rating:
Very full colour, attractive, fragrant fruit, softer than expected, but quite ripe and balanced, just lacks a little intensity of fruit, but has lots of elegance. |
