Score 91/100 · Robert Parker

A wonderfully sweet bouquet of creme de cassis, melted licorice, mocha, and vanilla soars from the glass. The rich, pure, concentrated, opaque purple-colored 2000 displays all the hallmarks of this great vintage – power, concentration, depth, ripeness, and moderately high tannin. Dense and impressive, it will be drinkable between 2006-2018. Last tasted, 1/03. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate January 2003

Bright medium ruby. Cool, perfumed aromas of blackberry, bitter chocolate and mint. Intensely flavored, concentrated and firmly built, with bright acids lifting the berry, violet and licorice flavors. Quite youthfully unevolved but already displays impressive inner-mouth perfume. Finishes with firm tannic spine.
