Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2003
Liqueur of St.-Emilion, the 2000 Clos de Sarpe is provocative stuff. A blockbuster effort made for readers with nineteenth century tastes, this wine is intensely concentrated, with abundant yet sweet tannin. Its dense purple color is accompanied by a big, chewy bouquet of black fruits intermixed with minerals, smoke, and licorice. While immense on the palate, with high tannin, it has become more civilized after bottling. However, patience is definitely a prerequisite for this monster St.-Emilion. It is a no-compromise, fascinating wine made for long-term cellaring.. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2035. It is hard to believe that the debut vintage was only 1998.
