2000 vintage. This is one of the better BDX 2000's I've had in the last decade. Opened not decanted. Tasted 1 hour and 4 hours after opening. Feminine body, masculine flavors. Plenty of stuffing and instructive markers laid down along the palate pathway. With apologies to Robert Zimmerman, you ain't going nowhere. 10.2.26. — a month ago

Too early but an upcoming beauty! Became better and better with air over the evening. @Peter van den Besselaar sorry, I couldn’t resist in opening one 🤦🏻♂️😂 — a month ago
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black cherries, black plums, black currants, light oak, mediterranean spices, light earth, herbs and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Fruit forward and complex. Elegant and nicely balanced, spicy and entertaining. Feel like a left bank Bordeaux with a touch of Napa.
Still young, but already enjoyable even by itself. Needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
Wine Spectator 90 points. Robert Parker 91 points. Wine Enthusiasts 94 points.
A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a food.
A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot. Aged for 12 months in (30% new) French oak barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
