2001 Parker Coonawarra Estate 2001 Terra Rossa First Growth

Description

From the very good 2001 vintage and scoring 92/100 Parker points “Potentially better than the ’00, but also more structured and tannic, is the formidably endowed, immensely promising 2001 First Growth Terra Rossa. A Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated offering with a touch of Merlot in the blend, it needs 2-3 years of cellaring, and should keep for 15+. Its opaque purple color is followed by gorgeous aromas of scorched earth, creme de cassis, blackberries, cedar, caramel, and licorice. Full-bodied, with an opulent attack followed by a structured, tannic finish, this pure, dense, promising 2001 will be at its finest between ’06-2018” Drink now – 2024. This vintage wine is shipped in a silk lined wooden presentation box with four wine accessories (corkscrew, wine pourer, drip stopper & wine thermometer) [worth £17.99] at no extra cost and now includes a free gift card with your personal message and tasting and storage notes.
