The first signs of aromatic maturity are present though they are only nuances on the floral, herbal and earth-suffused blackberry fruit nose that merges gracefully into rich, round, supple and generous full-bodied flavors that possess an approachable mid-palate though the structural support becomes immediately evident on the wonderfully long finish. This is a balanced wine that could be drunk now though for my taste it needs another 6 to 8 years to be at its best. In a
word, lovely. 92/2015+
Despite the high alcohol, the wine does not taste hot though there is a trace of finishing warmth and the tannins are almost hidden by the sappy extract. The style of the 2000 is much more forward than in either '98 or the '99 though it will take the better part of a decade to reveal its full potential. Delicious yet very serious.
