Drank side-by-side with the '08. My feeling is that this bottle may have been very slightly corked, but I was alone in that opinion. Despite potentially being less than perfect, the familial resemblance between these two was striking. Delicate, subtle, and complex, and not showing any of the (over) extraction or ripeness that characterizes the newer vintages of this producer. Very nice.

Four years since my last bottle. Early in its secondary development, and still big and meaty. Very good, though would like to see some more complexity and finesse to merit a higher score.

Ruby with garnet. A developing nose that is floral and oaky. Light to medium bodied. Medium to high acidity. Sweet. Medium finish. Layered to complex. Ready but will improve. Balanced. Amazing structure. My first Cathiard. Served blind by Kevin at VO birthday

Enomatic samples at Hedonism wines: 2001 Cathiard Suchots Clean bright color. Fine mature Burgundy with vital red fruit and autumn leaves sensations. Lively acidity, lean, elegant, mature with a great finish. Will last. 92-93p

Young, tight, and rather monolithic at this point; the most closed '01 Cathiard I have had recently. Try again in 3-5 years.
