  Weinwisser
  "Stark aufhellendes Rubin-Granat. Verführerisches Kandis- und Amarenabouquet, pflaumige Töne, Sandelholz, erste Schokokonturen vom reifen, fetten Merlot. Im Gaumen ebenfalls eine malzige, kandishafte Süsse, sehr reife, fest eingebundene, cremige Tannine, im Finale Palisandernote, Erdsüsstöne und wiederum Malz. Ein Traumwein, der beste Cantenac-Brown der Axa-Ära."

  Wine Spectator
  "Still youthful and beautifully lush, with dark, velvety tannins that flow underneath, allowing the gorgeous plum sauce, blackberry reduction and anise notes to drape wonderfully before slowly giving way to a cast iron–edged finish. -- Blind 2000 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2015). Drink now through 2023. 14,833 cases made."

  "Mittleres Rubingranat, zarter Ockerrand. Reife Waldbeeren, zarte Kräuterwürze, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten, facettenreiches Bukett. Saftig, extraktsüß und rund, gut entwickelt, frisch und gut anhaltend, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter, bereits gut antrinkbar, mit gutem Potenzial ausgestattet."

  "Mid ruby. Lots of solid development even if not an ethereal heart-stopping moment on the nose. Neat and well balanced and perhaps at its peak already. Fresh fruit and a bit of lusciousness. Certainly no hint of underripeness."

  Wine Enthusiast
  "A hugely concentrated wine showing chewy, but ripe tannins. Smooth, polished fruit combines with well-balanced wood and suppressed power. This is certainly a wine that will develop well, making it drinkable in five years and mature in 10-15 years."

  The Wine Advocate
  "Among the finest Cantenac-Browns of the last three decades, the saturated purple-colored 2000 is a sleeper of the vintage. Loaded with chocolatey black currants intermixed with sweet earth, cedar, and spice box, it exhibits medium to full body, surprisingly ripe tannin for a wine from this estate, a multi-layered texture as well as mid-palate, and a finish that lasts 25-30 seconds. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Cassis, blackberries, spice, mocha, tobacco and earthy aromas lead to a medium bodied, soft textured Margaux wine that ends with a plum, cherry and cassis filled finish."
