Gould Campbell, Vintage Vintage:2000 there is enough acidity and

there is enough acidity and depth for this to develop for a number of years

There is a superb sense of underlying tension to the much more mineral-driven flavors that are also stunningly dense and powerful yet the bone dry and hugely long finish is an exercise in grace and harmony

There is a faint hint of exoticism to the citrus blossom

Tasted at the Brane-Cantenac vertical at the château

All the classic Monfortino signatures come through in an epic

Gould Campbell, Vintage Vintage:2000 there is enough acidity andMedium deep ruby. Liqueur like aromas of black raspberry, black cherry, cassis, smoked meat, minerals and maple syrup. Juicy, intensely flavored and medium sweet; not unctuous but offers very good intensity and snap. Flavors of black fruits and licorice. A round, nicely balanced wine whose slightly fiery but persistent finish features rather fine tannins and good grip. Stephen Tanzer
