Château d'Aiguilhe--Vintage 2001
Côtes de Castillon
Tasting Note: A blend of 80 Merlot and 20 Cabernet Franc, the 2001 exhibits a deep ruby/purple colour to the rim as well as a sumptuous bouquet of spice box, liquorice, blackcurrants, and loamy, earthy characteristics. Made in a suave, savory style, with medium body, sweet tannin, ripe fruit, and loads of balance as well as elegance, this beauty will drink well for 10+ years. It is a sleeper of the vintage. This large estate is owned by Stephan von Neipperg, who hired guru winemaking consultant Stephane Derenoncourt to make the wine. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 153, June 2004.
