Notes

I am loving the 2000 vintage in Pauillac at the moment, as it has finally, finally started to soften and open up. This is an excellent example of what you will find if you open the top Pauillacs from this vintage right now; blackberry, cassis, spiced cedar and liqourice notes that you expect from the appellation, with tannins that are still burly and ever-present but are now allowing the fruit to make it through. Touches of cigarbox and tobacco also show that things are starting to really soften up. Stubborn for years and it’s still a fairly severe tone overall, not the most generous of profiles, but this is excellent and classic Pauillac. 50% new oak. Harvest September 21 to October 9.
