The 2001 Clos Fourtet has aged very gracefully, offering up aromas of dark berry fruit mingled with cigar wrapper, rich soil tones and smoke. Medium to full-bodied, layered and supple, it's a seamless, lively wine; and given the refinements that have taken place since, it bodes very well for the evolution of the Derenoncourt-era wines produced at this property.

Quite open, with a long, pure beam of gently mulled raspberry and boysenberry fruit, gilded with violet notes and chalky minerality that blossom through a long, refined finish. Cool rather than warm in profile. A wine of seduction. Drink now through 2030. 3,750 cases made.—J.M.

02: Sehr dunkles Granat mit bläulichen Reflexen. Feines, delikates Brombeerenbouquet; direkt und geradlinig. Feinsaftiger Gaumen, die Gerbstoffe sind cremig im mittelgewichtigen Körper eingebunden, Black Currant im Finale. Sehr eleganter Wein, der vielleicht etwas mehr Kraft haben dürfte. 17/20 2006 – 2018
