Score 88-91/100 · Drink 2001-2013, Robert Parker, Apr 2002

While the 2000 Tardieu-Laurent offerings are excellent for the vintage, they are significantly less concentrated and textured compared to the awesome 1999s. The 1999s which were given fabulous ratings from barrel, were not tasted from bottle. However, given part experience with bottled Tardieu-Laurent wines, they are undoutedly as good as I predicted from cask. They are not racked until bottling, produced with minimal levels of SO2, and bottled with neither fining nor filtration.. Importers: Martin Scott Wines, Little Neck, NY; tel.

Bright ruby. Soil-driven aromas of blackberry, black olive, black pepper, violet, minerals and bitter chocolate. Big, thick and youthfully unevolved, with slightly tough, rustic tannins. I would have picked this blind as Cornas.
