Color was still ruby pink. Rather sexy nose - blackberries, cedar with a touch plum. On the palate however, it is tannic, forward and uncomplex. Medium finish. Still quite young, but I think it is hard to improve more. Untypical 2000 pualliac.

On the nose - perfume with bouquet of roses, blackcurrant, blackberries with a hint of plum, chocolate and light cedar.
Palate - dry with medium acidity, tannic, taste similar to nose. It is balanced, elegant and coats the mouth nicely with a texture of satin, smokey and savoury finish lingers.
Maybe another year, it’s close to peak.

Spices, cassis, slight musky aroma. Tasted blackcurrants, grape skin, with a mineral, graphite, slight minty finish. This still felt young and energetic with slight tannins. Needs decanting. Not bad and a big improvement from the last bottle drank in Feb 2019. Ok to open now.

Not what I expected. Nice wine but not a Pauillac from 2000. But there's some reserve in this wine. Keep it onother 5 - 10 years and maybe you'll be surprised. You won't be now.

Past peak. Fruit gone. On the nose it’s seductive but on the palate it’s too lean.

Grand Puy Ducasse, 2000
Intense purple and ruby = seduction!
