TWO LOTS of ONE BOTTLE.
Both in perfect condition from the cellar of a meticulous private collector.
A distinctive bouquet of violets, soy, pepper, blackberries, cassis, and tree bark gives this 2001 a singular style. This dense ruby/purple-coloured blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and a whopping 14% Petit Verdot exhibits plenty of structure, wonderful sweetness, a closed style, but a rich, textured, persistent character. The unusually large percentage of Petit Verdot gives the wine more structure and less initial charm. This beauty needs some time in the cellar. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018.

Plenty of tobacco, berry and cedar aromas and flavours. Medium- to full-bodied, with sweet fruit and refined tannins. Long and ripe fruit on the finish. Not quite as exciting as from barrel. Best after 2007.
Score: 92 James Suckling, Wine Spectator, March 2004
Sweet and a bit dull but certainly serviceable and the velvety texture will appeal to many. Very smooth and luscious even if without a great amount of definition and flavour. Perhaps the most polished Pauillac - one of the Pichons? Flattering. Drink 2009-2018. Date tasted 17th Jan 08.
