Reviewed March 2004Attractive plum, berry and vanilla character follows through to a full-bodied palate, with soft, silky tannins and a long finish. Always very good quality for the money. Best after 2006.

Perfectly aged and drinking beautifully. Cassis, smoky coffee, and more developed notes of woodsy forest floor, and leather. Well integrated tannins. I really like its well-balanced subtlety and structure. A classic.

I love my claret, and I am so pleased that I can have it often with fine values like this 2001 Malescasse. This quite nice vintage has been over looked by the critics has had the time to develop a real bouquet and the seamless texture that mature claret is famous for. I love the expressive leather and earth nose and the fully integrated black currant and oak flavors in this Haut Medoc. The long mineral finish had much more to offer than one should expect from a wine so reasonably priced. This is not a big wine, but it is a very well balanced one for your next steak dinner!
Notes
Ralph and I love the 2001 vintage Bordeaux because the wines just taste great, and they have tasted great since 2007. They are elegant and fruit driven, with no hard edges. This wine is one of those value Bordeaux for parties and everyday drinking. Red fruits abound. Serve with a nice hamburger from the barbecue. (Clyde Beffa, K&L Bordeaux buyer and co-owner)
