This may turn out to be an outstanding effort. Deep and concentrated for a 2001 it offers a classic Pessac-Leognan bouquet of smoky scorched earth black currants melted licorice and a hint of burning embers. Although still monolithic this medium-bodied claret possesses good texture purity ripeness and overall balance. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and consume it over the following 12-15 years.
