Leoville Lascases--Vintage 2000
Tasting Note: "This wine has put on weight and, as impressive as it was from cask, it is even more brilliant from bottle. Only 35 of the crop made it into the 2000 L?oville Las Cases, a blend of 76.8 Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.4 Merlot, and 8.8 Cabernet Franc. The wine is truly profound, with an opaque purple color and a tight but promising nose of vanilla, sweet cherry liqueur, black currants, and licorice in a dense, full-bodied, almost painfully rich, intense style with no hard edges. This seamless classic builds in the mouth, with a finish that lasts over 60 seconds. Still primary, yet extraordinarily pure, this compelling wine, which continues to build flavor intensity and exhibit additional layers of texture, is a tour de force in winemaking and certainly one of the great L?oville Las Cases. In another sense, it symbolizes pays homage to proprietor Michel Delon, who passed away in 2000. Michel has been succeeded by his son, Jean-Hubert, another perfectionist. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2040." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #146 (Apr 2003)
