WA: The opulent, voluptuous, medium to full-bodied 2001 Culmen, a selection made at the winery, comes in a heavy bottle. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by a sweet perfume of blackberries, cassis, licorice, and spicy oak. This modern-styled, impressively-endowed, rich, long wine is best consumed over the next decade. Importer: Monsieur Touton Selection, Ltd., New York, NY; tel. (212) 255-0647 |

WS: Powerful and expressive. This massive red delivers ripe flavors of blueberry, plum and prune, backed by plenty of toasty oak and framed by muscular tannins, finishing with spices, tobacco and heat. International style, but with a sauvage note that keeps it distinctive. Best after 2007. 800 cases made. –TM |
