This beautiful wine, which is just hitting full maturity, reveals plenty of truffle, forest floor, black cherry, black currant, plum, and soy aromas with hints of espresso and white chocolate in the background. The tannins have fallen away in this medium to full-bodied St.-Emilion which offers a fleshy mid-palate in addition to lots of succulence. Enjoy it over the next decade.
A firm, slightly lean 2000, with berry and tobacco character, medium body and a fresh finish. Score range: 85-88. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 2001.
