The bottle has a sticker which reads "94 points." Come on! Whoever gave in that score seriously underrated this exceptional wine. (But then I think I did too!) This is a thick black wine with an outstanding nose. Rich taste of berries and cherries. Mild tannins. Thick and lingers on the tongue. Great, long lasting finish. This is a must have--and order a lot, because you won't be able to resist it.

Ever since I've started recording my wines in Cellar Tracker I've been taking advantage of the drinkability report to identify wines which are due--or in too many cases past due--to be consumed. The Fay 2000 was one which I presumably should have drunk 2 years ago. So I was a bit concerned when I opened it last night. I was very pleasantly surprised. An excellent nose, soft tannins, a hint of chocolate and rich berries. I'm looking forward to finishing the bottle tonight.

Originally had some of this when it was quite young and liked it a lot. Kept it too tong.
