Even more impressive from bottle than barrel the 2000 Croix de Labrie is sumptuous. A sensational effort there are only 9000 bottles of the big blockbuster 2000. It boasts superb purity along with the essence of cassis and black cherry liqueur-like fruit intermixed with graphite chocolate espresso and new oak notes. Sweet layered and luxuriously rich with a wealth of fruit and glycerin...Great stuff!...
