A deep ruby/purple color is followed by abundant aromas of sweet black currant fruit, spice box, and earth. Elegant, stylish, and moderately tannic, this 2000 should be at its finest between 2004-2011.

Firm and well-done, with focused berry and mineral character throughout. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine and sleek tannins and a long, racy finish. From Jean-Hubert Delon of Las Cases. Best after 2006.
