Robe brique foncé. Bouche post apogée avec des notes de sous-bois non désagréables et des tanins assouplis donnant encore un peu de corps au vin, mais il manque d’aromatique et de croquant pour accompagner le plat de viande. Le plateau de fromage lui convient mieux. 87

Cork in very good condition. Ruby red without obvious brick hue. Clear acidity present straight from the bottle. After 2 hours in decanter acidity is mostly gone. Tannins still present, nicely integrated. Dark fruit, oak. Very good wine, not remarkable.

Excellent condition, just slightly past its peak but very, very enjoyable - and it could have lasted more years. I usually like 2001's, and this bottle too proved to be a very classic (and classy) expression of the left bank.

Drank out of Magnum. I thought this might be to modern for my palate, but I enjoyed this quite a bit over dinner. Good fruit, absorbed oak, tobacco, red fruited with light spice..good Bordeaux. Bottle was drained quickly!

(Château Haut-Marbuzet) Nice, redolent nose with plum and prune; tasty, light bodied plum palate with the beginning of tobacco and other tertiary flavors; medium finish

Nose: black cherry, cedar, fig
Palette: Smoke, cedar, woody spiciness
Food: Beef tenderloin
This was delicious, but could definitely age some more. There was still good acidity present
