2000 Vintage

Elegant and highly complex, this wine deserves its perfect rating. Still in its impetuous youth, it has an astonishingly precise and clean nose that evokes small black berries, cedar and graphite against a slightly iodized background. A pleasant freshness and the melted tannins will guarantee long life to this wine, which should be among the very best in a decade or more.
