Saturday, June 27, 2015 - i had a chance to find this out at my local once again. It amazes me that a good Margaux from a massive vintage like 2000 could be so horribly underrated.

This was put in the decanter and drank over 3+ hrs. Massively strong tannins with muscles, even more than my two previous bottles as well as some serious structural tannins and the acids and mineral to back up the floral, violet and dark red and blue fruit medley. Great but integrating tannins along with everything showed what great structure thus underrated second growth really has. This has easily 5-10 more years of evolution in the positive. I really wish I had a big ribeye or strip steak to pair this with. A great wine. I will try to find as soon as possible. I thought it had sold out long ago. Highly recommended.
