2000 Chateau Margaux from this lot has the following scores - James Suckling 100 points, Falstaff Magazine 100 points, Decanter 100 points, Jeb Dunnuck 100 points, Jeff Leve The Wine Cellar Insider 100 points. This is the tasting note for 2000 Chateau Margaux from Robert Parker - with a score of 99 points. Tasted blind, the 2000 Chateau Margaux was a reminder of the peaks that the millennial vintage could reach. Noticeably deep in color, the bouquet rivets you to the seat with copious red berry fruit, clove and truffle, hints of cedar emerging with time. As the aromatics open and aerate, the fruit profile seems to darken and manifests blackcurrants and bilberries. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin. There is immense depth and symmetry conveyed by this First Growth, quite masculine for the estate with a gentle but insistent grip. It is a brilliant wine that flirts with perfection. Afford it another 3-4 years if you can, because it will last decades.
