Really intriguing. Iron nose with a sanguine finish. Mushroom, decaying currant and stones

Very powerful nose. Tobacco, leather, dark fruit. This should benefit from a few more years in the bottle. Big, dark, and decadent.

My husband purchased this 2001 vintage in Bordeaux in 2005. We enjoyed it thoroughly on February 14, 2015. The longer we let it breathe, the smoother it got. Paired beautifully with grilled rib eye steak and a Mushroom Demi-Glace made with some of this wine.
