From magnum and it's a little more resolved than I would have expected from the 2000 vintage and out of magnum. The tannins are very well resolved. If you own this wine, I'd start enjoying it. It hasn't turned but it's ready and not going to continue to improve. The fruits are ripe & juicy; blackberries, dark cherries, blueberries, raspberries & strawberries. The black rich earth is lean and soft, wet pebbles, very soft leather, touch of tobacco leaf, big red & pink rose pedals, high acidity and an elegant, lean & polished finished. It's putting on weight after an hour & a half decant. Add used coffee grounds & black licorice on the long decant. Second wine of Branaire Ducru. On a very long decant(3 hours), it finishes pure light and dark cherries.
