Chateau Clos de L'Oratoire--Vintage 2000
Saint Emilion
"This is one of St-Emilion's foothill (pieds de cotes) vineyards planted with 90 Merlot and equal parts Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vinification is classic Stephan von Neipperg and Stephane Derenoncourt. Undoubtedly the finest effort this property has yet produced, the black-colored 2000 offers up sexy notes of espresso, chocolate, Asian spices, black cherry liqueur, and blackberries. Opulent, chewy, and powerful, this deep, full-bodied wine has layers of ripe fruit, huge power, yet a classic, well-delineated style. A brilliant wine. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2019." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #146 (Apr 2003)
