Chateau Malmaison Baronne Nadine de Rothschild 2001

Chateau Malmaison Baronne Nadine de Rothschild 2001
This delicious medium to full bodied, opaque purple/red hued wine is rich, complex and full of promise. After allowing to breathe for one hour the tight nose opens nicely to exhibit aromas of blackberry, cherry, cedar wood, vanilla and leather. On the palate, the the upfront plum, currant and blackberry flavors are well balanced by the delicate oak, refreshing acidity, loads of velvety tannins and a rich, thick finish which is long and delicious. The wine was matured in new and year-old casks that confer smoothness, elegance and finesse – female traits befitting the Baroness Nadine de Rothschild. Amazing quality for this estate. Best after 2008.
