  Was able to acquire another bottle recently. Popped and poured. Medium ruby hue. Nose of damp cellar, sap, cranberry, forest floor, violets. Silk, iron, and fruit on the palate with layers of red raspberry, mulberry, and dark cherry in clean array. Nicely acidic with filed-off sweet tannin. Longer finish of crisp red fruit, iron filings, and soft grip. Another great showing. This wine has a lot of staying power.

  Discovered on a retail shelf a week ago so no expectations. Popped and poured to accompany roast chicken. Medium ruby color. Full nose conveying fresh scents of red berry, plum, musk, violets, black tea, earth. Initially lacy frame complicated by buoyant, unexpectedly wide-open flavors of tart black cherry, anise, mulberry, leather, and underbrush on the palate. Bracing acidity and smoothed tannins leading to a longer finish of rolling red fruit, iron filings, and grip. Super showing, very satisfying. This 2000 vintage continues to provide some delightful wines.

  Couple of years since I opened the previous bottle.
  This one is in a very good stage at the moment. Sweet berries and good balance with nice acidity.
  Not very lengthy, but clean.
  There are still years left in the wine, but the age will start to show soon.
  Now this is a pleasurable and harmonious wine.

  Ooooh - nice classic stinky Burg nose here. On the nose burnt cherry, farmyard, straw. In the mouth a great mix of strawberries, cherry, funky deep - nice tannins - stick on the teeth, but sit well with the delicate fruit. A bit of an aftertaste of toffee and chewy fruit. Long follow through - I like this wine - elegant, light, needs a few more years to probably lose some of its more chewy parts but drinking pretty damn well now.

  Light, clear brownish colour. Peppery and fruity pinot nose with stable and earth and parfyme. Pleasant flavour of berries and fairly ripe red fruit. Medium-bodied good burgundy with a fine structure, but the finish is a bit short with sweet berry notes. Probably typical for the vintage, but this seems to lack some focus and elegance. I have to admit it gets better in the glass though.
