Château Bernadotte--Vintage 2000
Haut-Médoc, cru bourgeois
Tasting Note: The 2000 is an elegant, nicely textured, smoky, sweet wine offering scents of caramels intermixed with blackcurrants, cherries, cedar, and liquorice. Supple-textured and lush, it should be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years. A sleeper of the vintage. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 146, April 2003
