Score 91/100 · Drink 2005-2012, Pierre Rovani, Apr 2003

The slightly reduced (a state created from lack of oxygen, reflected in smells reminiscent of burnt rubber) 2001 Chevalier-Montrachet will benefit from cellaring or decantation if it is to be served in the next 2-3 years. With aeration, flowers, metal, and spice can be found in its nose. Light to medium-bodied, it sports a sensual, sexy texture, loads of minerals and gravel flavors, as well as a long, seamless finish. Projected maturity: 2005-2012. Importers: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524; Importer: Robert Chadderdon Selections, New York, NY; tel.

Musky, multidimensional nose combines apricot, ginger, iodine, petrol and bacon fat; reminded me of a great Alsace riesling. Chewy, sweet and powerful, with outstanding intensity and verve. Has wonderful clarity and length, and a strong mineral core.
