  Recent purchase. In neck fill. Pnp at home after dinner. Beautiful wine and cannot confirm those concerns voiced in recent CT notes about this being at the end of its drinking. Wonderful freshness, perfectly integrated. Sous bois and this bottle bottle seems to have just the slightest touch of TCA in my eyes. Medium body of dark fruit. Medium tannins providing good grip. A bit short and not perfect by any means, but in terms of drinkability this is 10/10 for me. Well kept bottles have for sure another 5-7 years of peak drinking ahead of them. Look forward to my remaining 10 bottles.

  Strong, charming nose of ripe, sweet, jammy, candied fruits! Astounding! The palate is dense and rich, satisfyingly lengthy finish! No rush to drink it all up! A beauty, a solid one!

  I find that this wine is still drinking nicely. Not much more life in it but still has several years in my opinion

  This has clearly declined since last year. The nose gave the game way - quite tart, over-cooked strawberry and redcurrant, very jammy. In the mouth, much the same, the sweetness of the fruit is sliding into a rather syrupy mess. After a couple of hours, there was some improvement, a little fresher red cherry in the middle section and a more elegant finish, but I would advise checking one of your remaining bottles - my last two could have been flawed but better safe than sorry, because at this rate, time is very much of the essence.

  From a bottle purchased upon release and cellared in pristine fashion, the 2000 Boyd-Cantenac is a medium-to-deep red/garnet wine that is showing nicely. Decanted off of its sediment and allowed four hours in decanter prior to sampling, it delivers a package of dark plum fruit that is accented with baking spices, dried herbs, tobacco and loamy earth. Medium-bodied, freshly acidic and without alcoholic heat (13%), its tannins have largely melted and the wine's oak is likewise fully integrated. Solid on the mid-palate and medium-to-long on the back end, this fully mature Margaux would best be consumed over the next 3-4 years. Drink now-2024.
