At year 14, the 2001 is still tannic and primary, loads of red fruit left, a bit tart. High volume nose. Enough balance to last another ten years and not so great that one is tempted to drink remaining bottles now.

An absolutely fine wine. Great with steak - we had ours with chicken marsela in a strong red sauce. We got a great buy at $ 16
