Reminiscent of the 1982 Pichon Lalande (which never shut down and continues to go from strength to strength)

but then start having some fun with lovely scents of dried honey

The 2001 Hermitage offers ethereal hints of violets and dried spices on the nose, set against a complex backdrop of redcurrants and green olives. Tasted at the domaine, this bottle came across as exceptionally youthful and still somewhat firm, capable of aging well for at least another decade. Joe Czerwinski Jan 20, 2022 94 points Vinous Media
