Gorgeous wine from the 2000 vintage. Bright and vibrant but also full of savory, saline earthiness. Black and green olive, white truffle, dried fig, raspberry liqueur, black currant, orange pekoe tea, wet stone minerality, baking cocoa, black licorice, fresh earth, forest floor. Soft and supple, like velvet on the tongue. Mellow tannins that finish with a peppery note and surprisingly lively acidity. This can keep going for a while but I’m glad we opened it today.

Cuvée Unique! Vintage 2000- only made in the best! Green olives and wild strawberries. Great age able wine from a traditional producer.

Great depth, sweet red/black fruit, was a bit soft on night 2 so would drink up.
