Ripe darker fruits, truffle, chocolate, mint, and spice all scream Pomerol from the 2000 Château Le Bon Pasteur, a beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, layered, and elegant wine. Based on 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, it has a ripe, rounded, seamless mouthfeel, resolved tannins, and a great finish. It's drinking at peak today and has tons to love. Drink 2026-2035.$1,515.00 -

Spicy herbs, red and black fruit, tobacco, camphor, and a beautiful sense of white truffle all emerge from the 2000 Château Le Pin, a remarkably pure, focused, and elegant Pomerol that was closed at first and needs air to show at its best. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has fine tannins, a silky, pure mouthfeel, and outstanding length on the finish. As always, this complex, exotic wine shines for its elegance and finesse, and it should hold nicely for another 15-20 years. Drink 2026-2046.$32,595.00 -
Pressing every advantage afforded by the conditions of 2000, Léoville Barton produced an exceptionally long-lived and aristocratic wine, only just beginning to approach its recommended drinking window – this is classical Bordeaux after all! “This is a behemoth” in the words of Parker, who found that even in 2010 with a decade of age the St-Julien was a “broodingly backward” wine which “makes a mockery of many modern-day consumers wanting a wine for immediate gratification”. A further decade on and this Léoville Barton is finally beginning to unfurl its immense majesty to reveal its classic notes of cassis, cedarwood and dark fruits with impeccably constructed tannins. Parker ends his note, accompanied by a score of 95+ points, with the advice that “those who bought it should continue to exercise patience and be proud to own a wonderful classic with five decades of longevity ahead of it”.$1,800.00 -

This is a classic Las Cases, with masses of mineral, floral, and blueberry character. Full and chewy, with so much power. Please don’t touch this for another seven to nine years. Otherwise decant this for two hours.$3,345.00 -

This is a slight upgrade for this wine, which seems to be approaching full maturity but is in no danger of losing fruit or declining for at least another 10 years. It is one of the most elegant wines of the vintage, with an ethereal nose of red and blue fruits, spring flowers, and hints of bay leaf and graphite, while unsmoked cigar tobacco and plum also make an appearance in the strikingly complex aromatics and flavors. The wine is medium-bodied, not a blockbuster by any means, but a wine of terrific balance, purity, symmetry, and style. Drink it over the next 20 years.$655.00 -

Dark and shaded ruby. Much more complex nose than any wine so far. But quite developed..? I love the minerality and lusciousness-yet-dryness on the finish. Very solid performance and a lovely wine for an extended period, I would say. Very grown up indeed.$2,305.00 -
(12x75cl) 2000Lilian Ladouys 2000 exemplifies the pinnacle of Bordeaux craftsmanship, meticulously produced in the esteemed Pauillac appellation.

Under the esteemed stewardship of Lilian Ladouys, a family-owned estate renowned for its dedication to quality and sustainability, this wine stands as a testament to enduring elegance and sophistication. Lilian Ladouys 2000 is a distinguished addition to any fine wine collection, offering both heritage and exceptional taste.

This estate, which has continued to impress me in recent years, hit a home run in 2000. Showing slightly better than I rated it previously, this wine is deep bluish/purple with some lightening at the edge, and its floral nose displays notes of melted licorice, crushed rock, blueberries and black raspberries. A wine of extraordinary balance, equilibrium, and purity, with supple tannins, this medium to full-bodied, concentrated effort is already compelling and has hit its window of full maturity, where it should stay for another 15-20 years.$1,245.00 -

Currants, cassis, graphite, smoked tobacco, and sandalwood notes all define the 2000 Château Margaux, a legendary effort that tops out my scale. Still deep ruby-hued with perhaps just a touch of amber starting to creep in, it's full-bodied, deep, and layered on the palate, with ripe, polished tannins and a gorgeous finish. Based on 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot raised in new barrels, Philippe commented that this might be the first “modern” styled Margaux, and the tannins aren't far off the quality found in today's wines. This is heavenly stuff and will be a 100-year wine when all is said and done. Drink 2026-2100.$11,215.00 -

Showing beautifully at this stage of its life, the 2000 Château Marquis De Terme is medium-bodied, fresh, and focused, with moderate concentration yet a complex, elegant style. Minty herbs, currants, and chocolate all define the nose, and on the palate, it has resolved tannins and a good sense of freshness. I love it today yet see no reason it shouldn't evolve nicely over the coming decade, with a gradual decline thereafter. Drink 2026-2036.$1,075.00 -

Bright raspberry and strawberry character follow through to a rich, fruity palate, with soft, silky tannins and a long finish. Best Maucaillou in years. Score range: 89-91$440.00 -

Typical of Saint-Estèphe, this wine is totally closed up. It is more tannins than fruit at this stage of its development. But it is obvious that there is fruit there, and that it will develop. But for now, it's a case of watch this space.$344.00 -
(12x75cl) 2000Supremely elegant, the Monbrison 2000 hails from Margaux, a prestigious appellation in Bordeaux that is renowned for its polished, sumptuous red wines.

The grapes are meticulously selected from the finest vineyards and left to mature in oak casks, giving Monbrison 2000 its exquisite structure and balance.
When you uncork a bottle of Monbrison 2000, you are greeted by an aromatic symphony of red and black fruits, underscored by subtle tobacco notes. On the palate, it unfurls gracefully, revealing layers of complexity that is the hallmark of a truly great Bordeaux. Monbrison 2000, despite its age, displays an astounding vibrancy, a testament to the impeccable winemaking and longevity of wines from this distinguished terroir.
For those who appreciate finesse and nuance, you will find great pleasure in the Monbrison 2000. A splendid wine that enhances the grandeur of any occasion.

A ripe, gorgeous wine, the 2000 Château Mouton Rothschild is based on 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot that was raised in 85% new French oak. Blackcurrants, smoky tobacco, chocolate, and graphite all emerge on the nose, and on the palate, it's full-bodied, with a deep, layered mid-palate, ripe, velvety tannins, and a great finish. The volume, richness, and depth here are all classic Mouton, yet it nevertheless stays in the focused, more structured style of the vintage. It's just now hitting its prime drinking window and will cruise for another 40-50 years. Drink 2026-2076.$20,625.00 -

Another example that Nature has some regard for the creations of man, with the 2000 vintage offering a grand final bow for the Millennium. To describe the weather as other than perfect would be near folly, as the harvest went off without a hitch. The Merlot came off midway through September and a touch of rain in October allowed the Cabernet to hang on a bit longer before being harvested at perfect phenolic ripeness.The Left Bank has the edge but in truth there is little between the Medoc and Libournais in such a good year!
