  Weinwisser
  Dichtes, fast tintiges Purpur. Verführerisches Toasting, an Kaffee und gebrannte Mandeln erinnernd, vielschichtige Fruchtaromen, viel schwarze Kirschen, reife Brombeeren. Druckvoller Gaumen, kompakte Tannine, cremiges Extrakt, vollreife Cassis- und Brombeerfrucht, delikate Honignote im Finale, lang anhaltend, bis am Schluss sehr gute Balance zwischen Reife und Frische."

  Wine Spectator
  Offers an amazing depth of smoky, espresso-flavored toast that is seamlessly interwoven with bittersweet Valrhona chocolate, black currant and fig fruit, and a great underlying minerality. Supersilky, with a floral finish. Equally lush and captivating on both the nose and palate--a rare feat. Drink now through 2030. 800 cases made."

  The Wine Advocate
  Another wine that's drinking beautifully today is the 2000 Cote Rotie la Landonne. An upfront, perfumed, complex and ready-to-drink beauty, it offers sexy notes of smoked meats, olive, game, truffle and graphite. These give way to a full-bodied, elegant Cote Rotie that has no hard edges, a soft, forward feel and a great finish. It doesn't have the sheer weight of density of a top year, but excels on its drinkability. It's a beautiful wine."

  Jancis Robinson
  100% Syrah, clay and calcareous soil, fermented in stainless steel vats, minimum of 4 weeks’ cuvaison, aged in small oak casks for 42 months. Dark crimson. Dumb, though vaguely leathery nose (on both bottles). Some liquorice and definite austerity. This brute doesn’t want to be disturbed…. Really chewy and introvert and muscular."
