The seductive, dense ruby/purple-tinged 2001 offers a smoky bouquet with copious quantities of black cherry liqueur intermixed with black currants, licorice, smoke, and barbecue spice. Fleshy, medium to full-bodied, pure, long, and seamless, consumption over the next 5-7 years is suggested. Bravo! This is the first release from a partnership between Michel and Dany Rolland of Libourne, and the well-known family of Jacques and Francois Lurton of Graves (the name is Spanish for Champs Elysees). It is a 1,000-case cuvee of old vine Tinto de Toro aged in 100% new French oak for 16 months prior to being bottled unfiltered.(Robert Parker 92 points)
