  I had my issues with bottle quality and cork consistency some years ago, but the remaining bottles Of this 2001 are now getting better and better. This one again a step up, with tannings now starting to be fully melted, succulent salinity outbalancing the ripe sweetness of this classic St estephe and spice and forest floor notes making the bed for a lingering finale. Great wine in the right place at the moment. An hour of decant benefits the wine.

  Such a precise effort, razor sharp on minerality, generous on fruit and salinity. superbe length and what a food wine this is. Easy 10 more years in the tank and gorgeous right now.

  Like some 2005, this seemed clamped down in the beginning and not talkative. Luckily, some 2 hours of decant did the trick, it opened up and showed multilayered secondary and tertiary notes lying on a bed of smooth tannins, nicely melted and giving it this silky, inky flow of matured Bordeaux. Dark throughout, but deliciously balanced, the wines shows good acidity and rounds out gorgeously in the finish. Good for some 10 more years i would guess with some evolution ahead. But absolutely good to go now.
