Echézeaux--Vintage 2001 (12) In two six-bottle original wooden cases, banded "Knockout sexy black fruit aromas trimmed in a deft touch of oak and distinct animale notes with expressive, full, pure, sweet and quite powerful flavors and a long, persistent, mouth coating finish. The amount of sève is impressive as is the sheer spiciness and this is a good deal more refined than it usually is. A great vintage for this wine." BH, Jan 1, 2004 Grands Echézeaux--Vintage 2001 (12) In two six-bottle original wooden cases, banded "All the promise this showed in my last review (see Issue 13) is alive and well and while the floral yet extremely earthy nose with elegant ripe, pure, intense, beautifully delineated crushed black fruit aromas is still quite expressive, the plum and anise laced flavors have begun to close down. The finish displays firm, dusty, almost robust structure yet the tannins themselves seem refined and overall, this is an incredibly powerful wine, indeed even a forceful one but with no lack of class. Terrific upside potential here." BH, March 23, 2006 La Tâche--Vintage 2001 (12) In two six-bottle original wooden cases, banded "Strikingly extravagant nose of rose petals, oriental spices, pungent tea and leather notes plus ultra elegant pinot fruit. The powerful, chiseled, pure flavors are remarkably detailed, precise and fine with mind bending complexity yet for all the emotional drama of this wine, it remains understated and almost aloof at the moment. The finish is dense, structured and quite firm though there is nary a hard edge to be found and while this too cannot rival the other worldly 1999, 2001 will one day be thought of as a genuinely excellent vintage for La Tbche; in fact, it reminds me somewhat of the 1998 at the same stage of its development." BH, Jan 1, 2003 Richebourg--Vintage 2001 (12) In two six-bottle original wooden cases, banded "Not as deeply colored as the RSV. As is often the case, this is aromatically austere though with coaxing, reveals wonderfully complex aromas of a simply incredible array of black fruits, earth, spice, crushed herbs and notes of chocolate with flavors that are supple, rich and even more powerful but not as complex or elegant as the RSV though it gets high marks for its superb detail. I particularly like the stupendously long and incredibly intense finish that offers a surprising sensation of almost pungent minerality." BH, Nov 9, 2003 Romanée St Vivant--Vintage 2001 (12) In two six-bottle original wooden cases, banded "Classic RSV nose of soaring Asian spices, ripe plum and a gamut of ripe, pure and lacy red and black fruits with the latter predominating all wrapped together with a seductive kiss of sweetly scented, highly perfumed violets; the nose is, in a word, intoxicating. All of this aromatic intensity leads to remarkably powerful, borderline robust flavors that show simply unbelievable complexity and stunning length. While this is not as dense as the incredible 1999, it will very likely surpass every other RSV from the Domaine in recent memory. I believe that it's clear that all of the vineyard work that has been done in this vineyard is very clearly paying off. A terrific effort and if it adds a bit of weight, this should score at the top of my range." BH, Jan 1, 2003 Romanée Conti--Vintage 2001 (6) In two three-bottle in original wooden case, banded "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 Tbche 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
