"This is very well-made, with black licorice, berry and violet aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with a solid core of silky tannins and a long finish. Very impressive indeed. This is the same outstanding quality as the 2000. Best after 2007."

"A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2001 exhibits a deep ruby/purple color to the rim as well as a sumptuous bouquet of spice box, licorice, black currants, and loamy, earthy characteristics. Made in a suave, savory style, with medium body, sweet tannin, ripe fruit, and loads of balance as well as elegance, this beauty will drink well for 10+ years. It is a sleeper of the vintage."
