  (Decanted for one hour)
  Deep red colour with a brick red hue. Minerals and sweet black currant at first on the maturing nose opening up with pepper, leather, truffle and cigar in a lovely way.
  Smooth tannins on the palate and fruit is drying up on the nice and lengthy finish.
  (Best 2015-2025)

  Vertical tasting at a seminar at the Boston Wine Expo 2017. Opened from an estate-cellared magnum. This wine still have a dark, opaque core, with a touch of bricking but not much for a 2000 (no/little more than the '09 or '10). Aromas of violet, smokey meat, stone, tea, sweet tobacco, cigar box, tomato leaf, cherry tomato, and burnt rubber. Tannins still holding on, but melt away much easier than its younger siblings. It was hard to fairly compare this wine to the others in the vertical because there was such a large age gap between this one and the others ('15, '14, '12, '10, '09, and '00). It was essentially a different beast as the younger ones were much more lively and fruity, while this vintage was much more tertiary and complex at this point (albeit bordering on tired).

  Dry cedar and spicy herbs with a hint of dark fruit. Lean with a dry tannin finish. Drink now, past peak.

  Decanted 1/2 an hour. Medium/deep garnet/ruby core, pale garnet rim. Nose shows smoky black fruit, touch of earth, quite rich and ripe. Medium/full bodied, ripe black and red berry fruits, soft tannins, some smoke and earth notes but still quite youthful, balanced acidity which is enough to carry a decent length, harmonious finish. Delicious and still going strong.
