P: LM body; NICE, almost swtish frt met by an astringent PUCKER which pretty much resolves by the LONG, very, VERY slightly bitterish finish with a TANGY/swtness (65:35) to the dusty tannins. Doubt will improve more, & if not, my VG+/EXC-. 13% ABV; 86 pts WS, 15/20 La Revue du Vin de France, & 14/20 Vinum.

Bought it from Champlain Charest's collection! Amazing quality for the price! As it was a magnum, it Was just perfectly aged and represented a tipical 2000 bordeau

Round, medium-bodied black cherry fruit with a little toasty oak, earth, and mild cassis flavors, excellent structure, ample finish, clearly quality of 2000 fruit showed well
