Château Margaux--Vintage 2000
6 bottles per lot
Château Margaux--Vintage 2000 Margaux, 1er cru classé Tasting note: Absolutely compelling in two tastings of this vintage, the 2000 Margaux is composed of 90 Cabernet Sauvignon and 10 Merlot. The extraordinary seductiveness, complex aromatics, and purity it exhibits lead me to believe it has reached its window of full maturity. Medium-bodied, with layers of concentration, stunning blue, red, and black fruits intermixed with spring flowers, a subtle dosage of new oak, and a distinctive personality that is elegant while at the same time powerful and substantial, this is a multi-dimensional wine that was extremely approachable and drinkable in both tastings I had of it. The color remains a healthy, even opaque bluish/purple, but there is no reason to hesitate to drink it. It should evolve for another 30-40 years, so there is no hurry either. 100 points.
