2001 first label. Amber hue. On the nose, leather, prune, truffles and forest floor. On the palate, cherry, prune, caramel, vanilla, spice, licorice - long finish. Good balance, full body and silky texture.

2001 vintage. Earthy/mushroom nose. Initially cloudy but stabilized. Surprising amount of front palate richness mated with the famous Gruaud-Larose smooth and lengthy finish. Still has years ahead of solid drinking.

A smidge disappointed given I’ve had many 2001 Bordeaux I quite like and separately that SJ is my favorite left bank appellation. Just a bit disjointed, with some drying tannins on the finish - definitely drink up if you have these. Still, can’t argue that this is classic Bordeaux and a great pairing with grilled hanger steak.
