Description
Robert Parker: While the bottled 2000 still reveals a certain
sternness in addition to tough tannin, it is sweeter and more
expansive and flavorful. The dark ruby/purple color is saturated
and impressive. With coaxing, notes of lead pencil shavings, black
currants, earth, cedar, and spice box emerge from a relatively
closed, firm, medium to full-bodied wine or, as the French would
say, a classic vin de garde (for long-term cellaring). Although
austere, it is a classic, authoritatively flavored effort that
requires patience. I would like to see sweeter tannin and more
flesh built into the mid-palate, but there is no denying the
classicism and purity of this 2000. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025.
