Made in a structured, tannic, restrained style (representative of the vintage’s overall personality), this medium to full-bodied 2001 exhibits scents of espresso roast, cedar, chocolate, black currants, and cherries. With sweet but noticeable tannin, exceptional multilayered flavors, and excellent texture, elegance as well as purity, it will be at its finest between 2005-2013.
Very dark crimson. Sweet and round and fruity – a little bit Burgundian so possibly a Derenoncourt wine? Definitely sweet and pretty luscious. Unusually accessible.
For over a decade, this has been one of St.-Emilion's most consistent wines. A brilliant effort for the vintage, this saturated purple-colored 2001 exhibits a sweet nose of roasted nuts, blackberries, creme de cassis, licorice, smoke, and graphite. Medium to full-bodied, layered, and well-textured, with sweet tannin, low acidity, and a 35-second finish, this impressive, precocious St.-Emilion should drink well young, and evolve for 14-15 years.
