Purchased from Winebid a few years ago. Fill was very good still, well into the neck. Label was worn from damp cellar presumably. Cork came out without any issue. To my shock, the wine was a beautiful ruby red, fully intact, really no bricking, wonderful earthy tones of a fully mature Bordeaux. Tasted alongside the 2002. Nothing makes me happier than when these older bottles hit.

This 2000 vintage is absolutely eternal. Still deep purple. No bricking whatsoever and very little sediment in the bottle. I’m shocked at the quality given its modest cost at release.

This is absolutely humming right now. Patience pays off. All these Lede’s I’ve had at about 10-12 years are phenomenal.
