  The Wine Advocate
  I have always thought this was the best Fleur de Gay since the 1989 and 1990, and it showed extremely well in the 2000 horizontal tastings. Dense ruby/purple, with notes of melted caramel and mocha, along with raspberry and blueberry, the wine has that endearing combination of elegance and power. Layered and multi-dimensional, with silky, sweet tannins, the wine seems to have hit full maturity, where it should last for another 20 or more years. This is a beautiful wine."

  Wine Spectator
  Lush and inviting, with raspberry cream, boysenberry confiture and warmed anise notes gliding along together with very velvety structure. The long, flowing finish has a light echo of warm ganache. Hedonistic for sure, but there´s freshness too. Why we love Pomerol.--Blind 2000 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2015). Drink now through 2023. 845 cases made."

  The last bottle in my case. Such is life. And as is often the case, the last bottle was the best bottle as this example showed an opulent character with silky tannins and layers of sweet, ripe, fleshy, polished dark red fruits, licorice, and wet earth and a nice floral accent. If you have a bottle, this is the right time to be drinking it, as it is probably at its absolute peak."

  Rich, ripe, opulent, brûlée, almost overripe nose, then impressively ripe fruit - black/purple fruit - mulberries. On the palate, surprisingly, not at all hot. Quite a light finish, with a little bit of inkiness and rusty nails. Masses of quite rough tannins. Not a whole. Dry (as opposed to sweet) finish. Still very young. Relatively cool."

  Weinwisser
  Dunkles, sattes Granat-Rubin. Dropsiges, erst eigenwillig anmutendes Bouquet, feine Fliedertöne, Kirschen, zarte Schoko- und Vanillenoten. Eleganter, homogener Gaumenfluss, Wildkirschen, Himbeeren im samtigen Extrakt, fein aufrauhende Textur, bis zum Schluss delikat bleibend, so nur mittlerer Druck im Finale."
