  "Dunkles Purpur mit violetten Reflexen. Nobles, ausladendes Maulbeerenbouquet, herrliche Pflaumennote, Teer, Palisander und schwarze Schokolade. Im Gaumen viel Stoff, Brombeeren, konzentriert, sanft aufrauhendes Extrakt, ausgeglichene, intensive Adstringenz. Ein massiver Rauzan-Ségla, der etwas noblere Tannine aufweisen dürfte, doch das wird sich sicher mit dem Barrique-Ausbau legen."

  "This was a warmer vintage than 2001, with more tannins and alcohol present. It's a little foursquare at first and still a little less seductive than the 2001, but it will go the distance for sure. Notes of woodsmoke, cigar box, leather, hickory and exotic spices appear on the palate, with real width, depth and density throughout. A very good wine. Harvest ran from 22 September to 6 October, giving a 37hl/ha yield."

  "I loved the 2000 Rauzan-Ségla, another mature yet balanced wine that shows the hallmark complexity and elegance of the estate. Beautiful currants, strawberries, lead pencil, and spice notes give way to a medium to full-bodied wine that has a layered texture, resolved tannins, and good mid-palate depth. I love its complexity, its seamless texture, and its great finish. This is a beautiful 2000 that’s drinking at point today yet will easily keep for another two decades."

  "This is just starting to open up on the nose with tobacco, plums and currants throughout. Full-bodied, with lots of tobacco and chocolate that turns to notes of coffee and fruit on the finish. The palate is just starting to come around. Why should you wait on this? The winemaker says that it will be better after 2012. Rich and slightly austere still at the finish."

  "Mid ruby with quite a bit of development. Warm and scented. But still reserved and without obvious distinguishing marks. Contained and far from super sweet or luscious. Refined with a dry finish. Easy to overlook as it's on the timid side. Good balance veering towards dryness on the finish."

  The Wine Cellar Insider
  "Young, tight and tannic, this requires another 5-10 years before it add more complexity to its tobacco, earth, spice, cassis, floral, stone and fresh cut herb filled nose. Masculine in style, the wine ends with a blast of fresh, berries, cassis and cranberry. This wine is more about potential than pleasure today. Give it time."

  The Wine Advocate
  "Deep brick in color, the 2000 Rauzan-Ségla gives a mature nose of sandalwood, sweaty leather, cinnamon stick and star anise with wafts of raisin cake, dried cherries and preserved plums. Medium-bodied with a chewy texture and a good amount of remaining dried berries and savory layers, it finishes just a little rustic."

  Falstaff
  "Mittleres Rubingranat, zarter Ockerrand. Saftig, einladende, süße Beerenfrucht, Noten von Schokolade, attraktiv, feiner Karamelltouch. Elegant, rotbeerige Frucht, rassig, wirkt eher mittelgewichtig bis schlank, etwas trockene Tannine im Finale, salziger Nachhall."

  Wine Spectator
  " This is a bit grainy in feel, with ample cedar- and juniper-lined tannins carrying a mix of red and black currant, bay leaf and black tea flavors along before a tangy sanguine note captures the finish. Has character and charm, if a bit outpaced by the pack in general. Blind 2000 Bordeaux retrospective (December 2015). Drink now through 2018. 8,330 cases made."
