2000 vintage. Never a fave L-B vintage as it has always seemed a little too much sizzle and not enuff steak. FF two decades and said wine is drinking more like a Napa cab vs a BDX. Chunky and in a state of transition (discombobulated) but still medium-heavy body after two+ decades. The 2005 is more affordable and drinking better, imho, currently. Will this effort will ever round into form for dedicated L-B fans going back to the 1985 vintage? Not tasting it. Storybook fill and cork. Decanted and tasted immediately, after 30 mins and after two hours. Aggressive sed. 7.3.24. — 21 days ago

Full on. Big and precise. Like this vintage a lot. Showing clearly a great potential.
Rose and strawberry not really obvious. Love to taste this in 15/20 years. — 3 months ago

Sweet and plummy, pencil shavings, red pepper, tobacco, nicely balanced. It’s not like winter is coming for this wine, but autumn has definitely set in. Time to drink up. — 2 months ago

Medium to dark ruby in color; black cherries, cedar, and blackberries on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like raspberries, dried flowers, a hint of black pepper, and wet gravel with a long finish. I like it. — 3 months ago

I love most things from Scala Dei these days and this is no exception. 100% Garnacha rosé that doesn't give you much hint of aroma so your pallete is auep by the spice and near perfect fruity acid. — 22 days ago

NOSE: Cassis, plum, mulberry, leather, blueberry, slate, dandelion, chicory, earth, iron, tea, wet veggies. COMPLEX.

TASTE: I love it, though it’s a bit bitter. Lighter than the nose suggests. Dried fruit (blackberry, strawberry, plum, cassis), good acidity. Tea-like tannins, complex herbs (can’t identify them), furry critter, blood. For others, 93 — for me, 94. — 2 months ago

Medium straw in color; lemon, honeydew, and grass on the nose; medium plus acidity; tastes like lemon, starfruit, and saline with a long finish. Nellie and I both like it. I think it will pair well with fish. — 3 months ago
