Description
A quintessentially elegant, finesse-styled Bordeaux with complex aromatics but a delicate palate, the 2001 Les Carmes does not possess the muscle and power exhibited by the 2000, but the aromatics are 90 point material. This dark ruby-colored, light to medium-bodied offering reveals notes of sealing wax intermixed with tobacco leaf, red and black currants, and a hint of beef broth. With excellent balance and an accessible style.

***90 Points- Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider***
This fully mature charmer serves up an elegant dose of cigar box, cherry, wet earth and tobacco. This fresh, soft wine is definitely ready to go. If you have a bottle, pop a cork!
