Vintage 2001
|
| Grape blend : 58% cabernet sauvignon, 40% merlot, 2% petit verdot. |
| The weather : A mild and humid autumn followed by a rather dry winter. The start of spring shows a hectic climate which leads to a difficult flowering. June and july are hot and dry whilst august shows some rains. Finally the harvest starts mid September under glorious conditions. |
|
The wine : Good colour and good fruit. It shows balance and elegance more than sheer power however it does have the necessary richness to hold. Medium full. Rather long and savoury in the finish. Fine and classical claret wth round tannins and immediate enjoyment. |

Press releases... CLIVE COATES M.W. Good colour. Good fruit here on the nose. Still quite young. Good substance. Medium to medium-full body. Ripe and fresh it has charm if not the greatest depth. But the finish is positive and the wine is not short of class. Good plus. From 2007.
