95 to 100 outstanding
Good price for quality. The 2001 vintage is leaner than the 2000. Generous nose of cherry-prune fruit, chocolate and licorice, with a dusting of wood spice. Lighter style, initially quite delicate and elegant, then hot and tannic. Very good length. Enjoy 2009 to 2015. LCBO 46946
