I trotted this bottle out for a wine dinner and was terribly disappointed. For a 2000 Pauillac, it had very little depth, just hollow. I thought that maybe we had a bad bottle, but I've since tried two more bottles with similar results. Perhaps it's past its prime.
Decanted a few hours and was pleased with how it opened up. Rich berry bouquet is countered with a bit of spice. This is not an overpowering wine, but packs enough punch to give it a rounded Merlot finish. Very pleased. I'm confused by the short drinking window assigned by fellow Cellar Trackers. This bottles impresses with legs.
