2001 Chateau Margaux

"This superb wine shows restrained, elegant blackcurrant fruit aromas, edged with spice and floral notes, and a hint of lead pencil graphite. The texture is silky but not lacking in structure or body. The wine is still youthful and the abundant substance suggests a marvelous future in the cellar. 35% of the harvest is used in the grand vin. Atypically, the wine is only 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 7% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc." - 95/100 Decanter
