Wine Advocate #153 (6/2004) Rating: 93 points Drink: 2007-2018
A distinctive bouquet of violets, soy, pepper, blackberries, cassis, and tree bark gives this 2001 a singular style. This dense ruby/purple-colored blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and a whopping 14% Petit Verdot exhibits plenty of structure, wonderful sweetness, a closed style, but a rich, textured, persistent character. The unusually large percentage of Petit Verdot gives the wine more structure and less initial charm. This beauty needs some time in the cellar. -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (3/31/2004) Score: 92
Plenty of tobacco, berry and cedar aromas and flavors. Medium- to full-bodied, with sweet fruit and refined tannins. Long and ripe fruit on the finish. Not quite as exciting as from barrel. Best after 2007. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Superb colour, really deep, rich and velvety, lots of flavour, crushed berry fruit and supple, seductive ripeness, but backed by firm tannins, very fresh and well balanced. (Tasted en primeur) |
