The 2001 Reserve Claret's color looks more like ink than a dry red wine. Spectacular aromas of roasted espresso, blackberries, creme de cassis, and chocolate soar from the glass of this incredibly full bodied, ripe 2001. It represents the essence of wine. Thick, juicy, and impeccably well balanced, it has 50+ seconds read more...

A serious and exciting Merlot blend that delivers the goods, with rich, concentrated layers of currant, blackberry, mocha and wild berry, this sharply focused, intensely flavored wine shows off lots of complexity, depth and length, a mix of power and...

Rating: 94/100 - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 114, May/June 2004 ($115) Deep ruby-red. Knockout nose combines roasted black raspberry, cassis, espresso and bitter chocolate. Sweet, fat and deep, with extravagantly rich, seamless flavors of dark berries and chocolate. Not as sweet as the Mountaintop merlot but even larger-scaled. The finish shows more obvious cabernet tannins and considerable sweet oak, but has more than enough powerful, palate-staining fruit. As a potential purchase, this is a no-brainer for collectors who can find and afford it.
