  Je suis vraiment content d’avoir conserver ses 2 bouteilles. Un Bordeaux à texture classique qui est encore bien vivant malgré son âge. La texture est soyeuse, le nez est expressif et sans être d’une grande complexité, la saveur est agréable. Nous sommes dans les saveurs tertiaires et les fruits rouges bien mûrs.

  Nice ruby color doesn’t showing any evolution
  The nose has smell of fresh red fruit,
  It has a good acidity, very fine tannins “dentelle”, Medium body and long
  The freshness and purity of fruit is amazing
  It has reach is apogee but there is no hurry

  As you see below I said the last bottle was better than the previous, but I must have had another wine in mind than the Fonroque, because I continued with 91 points. Go out and find this wine!

  Absolutely better than the previous bottle, still unbelievably young, with crispy fruit (black currants), elegant supporting wood, a super fresh taste with a gentle bite and refreshing acidity and a balanced finish with ripe tannins and that is not always the case in the 2000-vintage.

  Fun in the glass; the first day the wine showed crunchy red an black fruit and fresh peppers. The wine was even, after 20 years, a bit chunky and full of life. Day 2: the wine showed more ripeness, also elegant vanilla in the bouquet and the wine was more smooth and juicy. The body was more evolved and the aftertaste, still with vigour, was elegant with very eatable tannins; a lovely wine.
