This wine was definitely lacking in acidity for a long lived Barsac. Drink shorter term.

very attractive color, nice nose, big fruity flavors. seems like it will be great in a few years. a real price performer. better than the 2000 reserve (which costs 50% more)

Tasted at EWS 2001 Bordeaux tasting in NYC. All wines were poured blind. Three flights, one of 5 wines, one of 4 and another of 4. Margaux finished 2nd of the 13 wines. This is a monumental wine. Everything you would expect from a classic Ch. Margaux vintage. Such balance, such finesse, sexy, sexy, sexy. Sure it's a little closed now, but the first sip told you this was something special. Run out and buy what you can find! I sure did!

Forward fruit, yet enough tannins to let it last. Very nice.

Great nose, black cherry and smoke were very present, but also grim (austere?). Acidic and hot. Either waaay too young, or just not a smooth wine.
