Tasting Notes
A beautiful nose of crushed currant and cigar box. Medium-bodied, with fine tannins and a caressing, complex aftertaste. Delicious, stylish and fresh. Best after 2007. 15,830 cases made. James Suckling, Wine Spectator 2007.

A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by this property’s tell-tale cassis characteristics. Medium-bodied and monolithic, with fine ripeness as well as depth along with light to moderate tannin in the finish, the 2001 Grand-Puy-Lacoste should be at its peak between 2006-2014.
