The last of my stock of vintage 2000 - and sadly a flawed bottle: the colour of black treacle and badly oxidised. It helps to confirm my personal theory about the poor quality of VdC corks in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Dark gold in colour. Nose of orange and barley-sugar. Intensely sweet, with flavours of honey, tropical fruit and toffee, and no evident oxidation. A little bit tired and one-dimensional.

Very comparable to 1999,but not so balanced (alcohol) as the previous vintage. Dried fruits, honey and creme brulee in nose and palate. Again like a Yquem from the 70ies, 93. I preferred the 1999 one day before

200 Burgundy Grand Crus from vintage 2000, 4-day blind tasting (Singapore): Dessert wine. Very sweet, smoky, I guessed Sauternes blind but then there is more sweetness and florality here. Good, but a bit rich. Drink up.
