Tasting Notes
Allen Meadows, Burghound 97
"Brooding, reserved, somewhat austere yet classic, picture perfect aromas of red and black fruits cut with almost as much spice and aromatic nuances as the La Tāche plus a subtle touch of earth, soy and hoisin that combine to create a bouquet of simply stunning complexity. The purity and detail are flat out incredible with nuanced, multi-layered flavors wrapped in pinot sap and culminating in an awe-inspiring finish. Silk, velvet and mouth coating sap completely buffer the ripe structure and this RC possesses what all of the great ones do - absolutely perfect harmony; this is seamless and there are no edges. It is as it were a perfect sphere with a haunting finish that I could taste hours later. This is destined to be a great wine.
Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 96+
Medium-deep red. Utterly distinctive nose combines plum, redcurrant, beefsteak tomato, underbrush and grilled vegetables. Wonderfully silky and concentrated, without any rough edges. And yet this thick wine possesses terrific verve, purity and power. Expands inexorably in the middle palate and offers extraordinary building length on the aftertaste. The complex earthy/veggie element turns to rose petal with bottle age, notes de Villaine, adding that this cuvee is nearly always the highest in grape sugars and lowest in acidity among DRC's crus. A splendid wine with a great future. I would not want to touch any of these 2001s for at least a decade.
Neil Martin, Wine Journal, eRobert Parker 96-98
Compared to La Tache definitely a light colour. The nose has moderate intensity, again the oak not completely enmeshed into the fruit. Notes of espresso coffee like La Tache. The palate is very concentrated but not overpowering with well-knit tannins and delectable acidity. The mid-palate stays suspended on the palate: just pure pinot fruits. Good grip with a touch of black truffle on the finish. Magnificent. Better than La Tache this year. 10+ years. (533 cases produced) Tasted February 2004.
