2000 Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Tasted from an ex-château bottle at BI Wine & Spirits Calon-Segur dinner in London. The 2000 Calon Segur is one of those wines that reminds you how great the millennial vintage could be. Now at fifteen years old, it has a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Beginning to open magnificently, the still dense purple-colored 2000 reveals a blossoming bouquet of blackberries, cassis, graphite and pen ink. Full-bodied with velvety tannins that have resolved themselves beautifully...

Wine Enthusiast, 95 points: Here is a huge ripe and luxurious wine, with great power. The texture is solid, filled with firm tannins, the flavors are black and ripe. Along with the power, though, is much of the elegance and poise that characterizes...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: This is grippy and old-school in style, with a core of warmed fig and black currant paste flavors framed by ample charcoal and baker's chocolate notes, but this is well-integrated, and everything cruises nicely through a...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: This great bottle of rosé was the debut wine for my birthday celebrations on Sunday night at Shanghai Lo restaurant in Hong Kong. I've always been a huge fan of DP rosé. It's rich and intense but never heavy and cloying...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: This is lovely, with steeped currant, fig and blackberry fruit flavors that flow easily along with singed juniper, black tea and iron notes. At peak, but no rush, as the balance is there.—Blind 2000 Bordeaux retrospective...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 93 points: Elegance, freshness, ripe fruits and soft, silky tannins bring this right where it needs to be at 16 years of age. With its classic Left Bank Bordeaux personality, the wine is filled with cedar, tobacco, blackberry and...

Wine Spectator, 95 points: This young Port shows intense aromas of black licorice and berries. It's full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a long, long finish. Seductive. Fantastic young Port from Churchill. Best ever. Best after 2012. — JS

Wine Spectator, 90 points: Rather modern in feel, with lush black Mission fig and blackberry cobbler flavors that have mellowed nicely, allowing the supple structure to stay balanced as light tobacco, ganache and tar threads emerge steadily on the...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 91 points: The explosive 2000 Barbaresco Vanotu moves things to another level. A blackish garnet with potent aromas of asphalt, caramel, roses, and warming alcohol, solid and muscular in flavor, packed and chewy, its dense texture...

Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 91 points: Tasted blind at Bordeaux Index’s 2000 tasting in London. This is reticent on the nose at first, but opens up nicely with time, blackberry, plum, black coffee, cedar and a slight estuarine note. The palate is full-bodied...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 93 points: This is developing quite nicely. The tobacco, cassis, herb and spicy cassis nose pairs perfectly with the classically styled, full bodied character, leaving with a blend of cassis, blackberry, earth and a touch of green...
