Even for 2001, this is a tremendous Merlot, huge in flavor, and stunning for its volume. Atypically, it has an almost Rhône-like quality of violets and lavender, sweet anise and cherries, and the woody, charry new oak really stands out. This beautiful wine is very long in the middle and finish, and should improve for several years.
