Château d'Aiguilhe--Vintage 2000
Côtes de Castillon
Tasting Note: The outstanding 2000 exhibits a dense ruby/purple colour as well as a glorious nose of creosote, liquorice, blackberry and cassis liqueur, medium to full body, tremendous texture, and impressive ripe fruit. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered after spending time in 80 new French oak, on its lees, with frequent bâtonnage as well as micro-oxygenation. This is serious stuff as well as a sleeper of the vintage. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 146, April 2003.
