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 batonnage as well as micro-oxygenation. This is serious stuff as well as a sleeper of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. This large estate, with a fabulous castle on the property, consists of 106 acres planted with 80 Merlot and 20 Cabernet Franc. With wine consultant Stephane Derenoncourt in the background, this is a property to take seriously.
