The finest Larmande I have ever tasted, this sleeper of the vintage is a seamless classic that transcends its terroir and pedigree. The 2001 Larmande exhibits a deep purple color as well as a striking perfume of charcoal, black currant and cherry liqueur, incense, and vanillin. Medium to full-bodied, with a sensational mid-palate, wonderful persistence, and a beautifully balanced style, it can be drunk young or cellared for 10-15 years. Bravo!
Very, very deep purple. Patisserie nose, but pretty hollow. Dry finish. (JR)
Focused aromas of blackberries, minerals and lovely oak. Medium- to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a medium, refined finish. Very fine wine. Best after 2007. 5,830 cases made. – James Suckling , Wine Spectator 2004
