2000 Red Bordeaux
Rumours had been emanating from Bordeaux since the first Merlot
grape was plucked from the vine back in mid September. Whispers from some
quarters, great proclamations from others, all unanimous that 2000 was going to
be something quite special.The weather leading up to the harvest had been
perfect and from mid-July to mid-September there was virtually no rain at all.
The fine weather continued through to the end of the Cabernet
Sauvignon harvest in mid-October with only one day of rain to refresh the
vines and momentarily worry the vignerons.
Across the board the wines boast ripe succulent fruit and fine, firm, tannins,
with many displaying the structure, depth and length that mark out truly great
claret. The wonderful late summer weather seems to have truly, great claret.
The wonderful late summer weather seems to have given the Médoc the
edge, producing marginally more complex wines. Nevertheleless the best of
St. Emilion and Pomerol have provided some of the very finest
wines of the whole vintage.

Dark purple colour with intense flavours of ripe black fruit, cedar, and rich, toasty oak. Lush and full-bodied with a very long finish, this really is enticing. Though traditional in style the abundance of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) in the blend has created an extremely hedonistic wine. Drink 2010-2024 . | ||||

"This saturated bluish-black/purpled wine seems at first closed and broodingly backward. In the mouth, it is dense, textured, full-bodied, pure, yet, at the same time, closed. This wine is large-sized, with high tannin but equally high extract and richness. The wine will require patience, and ... MORE | ||||
