This is the finest bottle of Rousseau's 2001 Chambertin I have ever had. With each taste, the 2001nhas something new to say. At times, it is the aromatics that stand out. In other moments, the wine's structure, energy and overall complexity are totally alluring. Dark and brooding, with compelling inner sweetness, the 2001 simply can't be denied. It is utterly profound. It is as simple as that.Inc. TAX€3,411.73 -

The 2001 Chambertin Clos-de-Bèze Grand Cru has astonishing intensity on the nose, perhaps more like a 1999, with copious black cherries, black truffle, juniper berries and eucalyptus. It seems incredibly young even when juxtaposed against Méo-Camuzet’s Cros Parantoux from the same vintage. The palate is medium-bodied, quite structured and grippy, backward and rather masculine yet with disarming poise. This Clos-de-Bèze is only just beginning to step into its stride so don’t be afraid to cellar for another three or four years. Tasted at Empire restaurant in Hong Kong.Inc. TAX€4,167.73 -

The Auvenay Auxey Duresses Les Clous Blanc 2001 is an exceptional masterpiece from the revered Domaine d'Auvenay in Burgundy, part of the portfolio of Lalou Bize-Leroy who is globally esteemed as a producer of divinely expressive and singular wines. This elegant Chardonnay is the product of meticulous chemical-free vineyard cultivation, and traditional vinification, matured distinctly in oak barrels which imparts a showroom shine onto the nose and palate.
"Les Clous" references the stony, limestone-rich vineyard where the wine originates bestowing it an unrivalled minerality. A well-defined vintage of 2001 has fostered precocious flavours hinting at ripe apples, honey, and utterly delightful toasted almond notes. Auvenay Auxey Duresses Les Clous Blanc 2001 is a testimony to Lalou Bize-Leroy's dedication to holistic viticulture, a paramount expression of white burgundy revealing a complete harmony of strength and finesse. It's a fetching choice for connoisseurs seeking the epitome of sophisticated white wine.

This wine merits every one of these 100 points. The 2001 Vin Santo di Montepulciano Occhio di Pernice (375 milliliters) is a singular work of art and a profound expression of Tuscany. I know Avignonesi owner Virginie Saverys would like to draw attention to the other wines in her portfolio, and she has every right to do so. But I just want to cry. When you have a wine as profound and perfect as this, everything else fades fast into the background. Virginie likes to say that Occhio di Pernice (made with red grapes) is the male and the Vin Santo di Montepulciano (made from white grapes) is the female. This is a great observation. The bouquet here is smoky and savory, but brilliant and sophisticated at the same time. You get an infinite array of caramel, maple syrup, espresso bean, licorice and candied fruit aromas. There's so much dried fig as well. The concentration and thickness is out of this world. This wine is built like a tank and I'm not sure it will ever exit its drinking prime.Inc. TAX€930.14 -

Medium ruby. Cool aromas of blackberry, violet, licorice and mocha. Light and lively in the mouth, with good density and sound framing acidity. Not hugely ripe but rather stylish and bright. Tannins spread out on the persistent, fresh finish.

Deep, bright ruby. Knockout nose combines black fruits, minerals and sauvage animal nuances. Dense, thick and lush, with very suave black fruit and bitter chocolate flavors.

I am shocked (pleasantly, I must say), by how closed the 2001 Barbaresco Santo Stefano is. Powerful, tightly wound and totally closed down, the 2001 exudes class. Orange rind, tobacco and smoke add striking aromatic complexity to the intense dark fruit. Today, the tannins are surprisingly intense and raw, so readers will have to be patient. The 2001 is superb, but the wine’s full personality will not be on display for at least another few years. There is a good bit of upside here.Inc. TAX€2,090.92 -

Rich, dense, silky and very ripe; a wonderfully fleshy Crozes that really spreads out to coat the palate. As round, sweet and plush as this rather massive wine is, it's still youthfully unevolved. Finishes long and aromatic, with big, tongue-dusting tannins and hints of espresso and nutty oak.In Bond€607.00 -
Wine Advocate (98-100)
The black-colored 2001 Ermitage l’Ermite may be equal to the perfect 1996. Awesome levels of kirsch liqueur, licorice, and white flowers are followed by a superbly concentrated, etched, long, deep wine with multiple layers, a fabulous texture, and virtually perfect balance as well as harmony. Possessing great stature and intensity, it is a monumental achievement. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2040.In Bond€2,045.00 -

Full ruby-red. Granitic aromas of gunflint, minerals and licorice. Lush, rich and seamless but very backward, with very dark flavors of blackberry, licorice and spice. Less obviously sweet than the extraordinary Pavillon bottling, but this, too, dusts the entire palate. A wine of great structure and power. Explosive, gripping finish.In Bond€1,460.00 -

Vinous (89)
Dark red. Funky aromas of raspberry, meat, leather, smoke and gunflint. Sweet, pliant, rich and layered, with the meaty character following through on the palate. Finishes with a slightly drying nutty quality and lingering sweetness.In Bond€632.00
