| Grapes: Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc | Origin: France, Bordeaux |
Lea & Sandeman review
Very deep colour, as one might expect, rich and fruit-cakey, dense and quite closed, but it has the fat and the richness. Intense, but like a plump cushion, the tannins civilised and stressing the finesse and the fatness of the cassis fruit, staying well on the long finish.Other reviews and comments
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 suggest consumption over the next 12-14 years is warranted.
89/100
