I've not tried the wine as there are better CdR's available at lower price points in the UK. However, 2001 was an excellent vintage, so it should be a decent wine.

The CHAPOUTIER BELLERUCHE is excellent.

but frankly I don't buy this type of wine. plenty of OZ which r much better.

I tried this wine on release (in 2003 I think)

It's a good vintage for the CdR, and should be good drinking now.

Here's a brief note that i wrote back in November, 2004. Interestingly this wine shared mixed opinions during the evening, more so than any other. As you can see I think it's a little too young right now but has some potential. Hope this helps.

"Deep purple in appearance. Black pepper, raspberry and a hint of earth on the nose. Still very young; unbalanced, raw and harsh my notes from last month read. A fruit bomb that is, for me, far too tannic to enjoy at this age. I'd like to re-taste this in 3 to 5 years time."
