More evolved aromatically than the 1999, it reveals notes of minerals, licorice, coffee, black fruits, and smoky oak. Although it can not match the 1999's sheer volume and intensity of flavor, the 2000 is full-bodied and rich, with hints of roasted tobacco, sweet blackberry and espresso-tinged fruit, and a long, opulent finish. It should drink well for 15+ years." 91 points - International Wine Cellar, Stephen Tanzer, June 2003 "Medium ruby. Red and blackcurrant bitter chocolate and tobacco aromas lifted by floral and mineral nuances. Dense, juicy and bright, with lovely definition and intensity of flavor. Not at all a thick style of Merlot but has a terrific verve and structure. Finishes with terrific tannin/acid spine and excellent persistence."
