Wine Advocate A potential super-star in the making is the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon. It gets my vote as the finest wine made at this estate since the 1997, and it should have the longevity of their monumental 1991. Sadly, only 1,500 cases were produced from a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. It should be called a vin de garde (a wine for aging) as it is a tightly-knit, powerful, enormously-endowed offering with huge tannin, monster extract, and rich, intense black currant, tar, blackberries, loamy soil, and licorice flavors. Closed, broodingly rich, and large-scaled, this 2001 possesses nearly unlimited upside potential, but patience will be a virtue. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2028. Score: 93 - Robert Parker, December 2003. Wine Spectator Dense and chewy, with ripe, rich tannins holding sway over the earthy currant, sage and herbal notes. It finishes with creamy, mocha-scented oak, which gives it an added dimension. Best from 2006 through 2012. Score: 90 - James Laube, November 15, 2004.
