Big, rich and elegant, this wine has fine, lifted black fruits layered over dry new wood and fruit tannins. It is certainly firm, and needs at least 4–5 years’ aging, but it will develop into a sophisticated, balanced wine.

90-92 Barrel sample. A finely balanced wine with expressive acidity and ripe blackberry fruit flavors. The aftertaste is dry from the firm but managed tannins.

Gems like this from the stellar 2000 vintage are still available to consumers willing to explore lesser-known chateaus. Concentrated scents of black cherries and cassis emerge from the glass, followed by admirably pure flavors of black cherries and vanilla. It’s supple enough to drink now, but appears to have the stuffing to go another 5–10 years. A long, berry-filled finish caps off this find.

90-92 Barrel sample. Firmly balanced, the fruit coming through a dense structure. The acidity fits well with this texture, a brightness that finishes an attractive wine.
