From a mag and showing so well. 2000 was a big crop vintage, yet this wine shows precision and depth. Sweet fruit and ripe tannins that integrate well. Plum, jam jar and fig. Has another 15 years easy.

Ok now I see what all the fuss is about.....had this a couple years ago and I was generally not enthused due to the heat and an overripe kirsch quality. 2 more years in bottle and a 5 hour decant settled this the F down. While still very broad and ripe there is a lushness that just engulfs you. the sharp edges have been filed down and replaced with velvet bumpers. Black olive, tar, tea leaves and deep delicious black currant. Wow.

Tastes nothing like a CDP. Not so big and boisterous as I expected. Excellent wood treatment, with bright fruits still making an entrance. It presents big with blueberries, black tea and a hint of lavender. Excellent showing with many years ahead of it. From magnum.
