  Decanted for 30 minutes and a good addition . The arbitrage in absolute quality vs price is defined by this beautiful chateau. And we do mean absolute cause the wine is beautiful ( as is always in good years) irrespective of its prices. We joked it’s these random wine openings every now and then that remind us the beauty and greatness of classic Bordeaux. This a wine we have tried a few times in the last 15 years and much like last time in 2020 ( Papies 93) it excelled . Classic through and through from nose to tail and now is in a good secondary phase but the fruit is vibrant and very much present. A magnificent wine , easy 93 on its own merit , exceptional price to quality and this will perform easily for another 15yrs minimum. So happy we have more and easily will add if we see any flying around.

  Good wine, but typical for a 2001 Bdx it is fresh and pure, but the palate can't match the quality of the impressions in the nose. Very light weighted. On day 1 it was even a bit sour, acid was too strong. On day 2 the wine improved, the acid went into the background but still no pressure on the palate, no volume. Very green and light. 91 pts for the beautiful nose. (88 for the palate and the slightly drying tannins at the end).

  Beautiful and rustic bouquet with autumn impressions and some barnyard and graphite in the bouquet as well as the taste. Beautiful acidity and still slightly sticky tannin. Fully mature now and the wine will probably stay on this level for several years if stored properly. Pity this was my last bottle.
