About this Item
Cabernet Sauvignon 2001
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
Their powerful and long-aging Cabernet Sauvignon has become a cult wine ever since their first 1992 vintage. Known for their rich and powerful reds, the majestic 2001 vintage experienced a late warm and dry summer resulting in a perfect ripening. De Trafford wines are renowned for their incredible aging potential.

Critics Ratings
'Good medium ruby-red. Complex, ripe aromas of raspberry, coffee, smoke and underbrush. Impressively lush and sweet, with compelling flavors of black raspberry, graphite and chocolate lifted by underlying graphite and mineral notes. Finishes with big, lush, chewy, sweet tannins and excellent persistence.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Mar 2005)
'There's a nice minerally, cedary edge to the ripe fruit on the nose. The palate is elegant and ripe with chewy blackcurrant fruit with a chalky, mineralic edge. Very elegant. Very good/excellent.' - Jamie Goode, Wineanorak.com
