Chateau la Gaffeliere 2000

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "Opulence and richness, with all the generosity of Merlot, are the hallmarks of this superb wine. It is huge and powerful and has enormous potential. What is so exceptional about this wine is that all its power is still to be revealed. In 10 years time, it will prove to be one of the stars of the vintage in Saint-Emilion."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "This elegant, fully mature 2000 St.-Emilion reveals notes of roasted herbs, sandy, loamy soil, black currants, cassis, and a hint of incense. Medium-bodied and pure with outstanding harmony and freshness, it should last for another decade or more."

WEINWISSER: "Dunkles Purpur mit lila und violetten Reflexen. Weitgefächertes Bouquet mit Kirschen, Rosentönen, Edelhölzern und Weihrauch. Im Gaumen stoffig, satt im leicht körnigen Extrakt, wiederum viel rotbeerige Töne, eher rauh in der Textur, männlich, braucht viel Geduld."
