Château Margaux Margaux(2001)
A lovely colour here, and a really attractive nose, smoky and yet perfumed, certainly rather gravelly. very classic, and showing very well considered its age. cassis fruit, just a little tobacco, and showing great potential. Very cool entry, showing a firm structure but with an elegant texture through the midpalate. Very nicely composed indeed, quite harmonious, with a lot of structure showing at the end (which is fine) and a very persistent finish. Good, fresh style of fruit. Excellent potential.

- ($120-$179) Enticing aromas of boysenberry, cedar, espresso and roasted oak. Sweet, lush and broad in the mouth, with sappy berry and espresso flavors. This boasts the pliant texture and near-perfect balance of the vintage's best examples. Finishes with a fine dusting of tannins. Like so many 2001s, this is easy to taste today but may well close down in the coming year or so. "The 2001 is a smiley wine," says Pontallier, "while the 2002, though a bit stiff today, has more power and excellent aging potential. But neither ranks among our greatest vintages."

- Performing well from bottle, Chateau Margaux's 2001, which is somewhat reminiscent of both the 1985 and 1999, is an elegant, seamlessly constructed effort with a deep ruby/purple color, and a beautiful nose of flowers, creme de cassis, blackberries, and cedar...-Wine Advocate
