  From 75cl, exquisite cork, decanted 1 hour. Plush, refined, pure, compact Pauillac. Scent comme il faut; ripe, dark-fruited entry, more loganberry than cassis, but none the worse for that; velvety-smooth mid-palate. Early maturity, bottles in good condition have a long, long way to go. 91–92P

  Pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.
  
  Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
  
  Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
  
  Showing black currants, cooked cherries, tobacco leaf, herbs, vegetables, light wood, licorice, coffee, light cola, vegetables and black pepper.
  
  Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
  
  This beautiful 24-year-old Bordeaux from the great 2000 vintage seems still young, although decanted for 4 hours.
  
  Elegant and powerful. Rich, yet subdued. I loved the nose, that showed lots of wild flowers.
  
  Wine Spectator 91 points. Robert Parker 92 points.
  
  This Fifth growth is nicely balanced with nice complexity at this point. Still needs a few more years in the bottle to mature properly.
  
  I've had many vintages of this wine, and so far the 2009 was my favorite.
  
  Good by itself and better with food. Paired nicely with dried meats and cheeses.
  
  12.5% alcohol by volume.
  
  92 points.
  
  $150.

  Beautiful mature 2000. Needed about 30 minutes to open up, especially one of the bottles where the cork was dry. Did not decant.

  Last of a case I bought on futures years ago. Still going strong. Needed 15 to 20 minutes to open up. A tinge of orange on the edges. At oor slightly past its peak. Still going strong 23 years later.
