Expert tasting note: (2000 vintage) "Medium ruby-red with some depth to the pigmentation & a purple rim. The nose combines violet perfume with notes of over-maturity. The Palate is fresh with typically delicate lifted violet fruit. The structure is good & supports graphite & cedar notes near the finish. Alcohol is balanced & the fruit lasts well. A finely balanced & very attractive wine." - 11/04 DCAMW

- Vintage Notes
-
After an early bud-break at the end of March, the growing season was slowed down by a cool, damp spring. Spraying was vital for combating downy mildew and other fungal diseases. July was abnormally cold and wet, though August and September were sunny and dry, ensuring good ripening of the grapes. Harvest conditions were favourable, allowing us to wait for optimal ripeness in each plot. Thanks to hot weather the quality and concentration of the grapes was far superior to previous vintages. The Merlot showed good deep colour and fatness on the palate. The Cabernets displayed outstanding tannins, balance, roundness and finesse. Paradoxically, selection remained very severe.

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
Lovely bouquet, notes of gravel and black truffle unfolding in the glass to accompany the satisfying black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a fine bead of acidity. Perhaps it is a little more conservative compared to recent vintages, although it is nicely proportioned, replete with cedar and tobacco toward the satisfying finish. This is a very fine millennial Brane-Cantenac.

When to drink: 2008 to 2040
2000 Vintage
Tasted: Mar 2024
Gereifte Nase, Zedernholz, Tabak, dunkle Frucht. Am Gaumen mit weitgehend abgeschmolzenen Gerbstoffen, zeigt Druck und Länge, warm in der Frucht, kühl im Ausdruck. Langes, dunkelfruchtig geprägtes Finale. 2024 bis 2033.
2000 Vintage
Tasted: Sep 2022
Medium-bodied, elegant, fresh, and soft in texture, the wine opens with its blend of flowers, truffle, tobacco leaf, and currants. The wine is vibrant and fresh with an edge to the red berries in the finish. This is clearly in its drinking window. Drink 2022-2035.
2000 Vintage
Tasted: Jun 2013
Very rich aromas of ripe strawberries, spices and flowers follow through to a full body with velvety tannins and an outstanding structure. It’s always a little austere. But so much there. Just coming around now. Delicious.
2000 Vintage
Tasted: Nov 2010
Kräftiges Rubingranat, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart animalische Nuancen, dunkles Beerenkonfit, etwas Nougat, feinwürzig, einladendes, reifes Bukett. Saftig, rund, frisch strukturiert, reife Kirschenfrucht, zitronige Nuancen, perfekt ausgereift, harmonisch.
2000 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2003
A solid, chunky structure is the hallmark of this big wine. The fruit is black, full of dark tannins. Perhaps it lacks subtlety, but that is replaced with great power and potential.
2000 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2003
(2003) Very nice nose, with lovely perfume suggesting game and coffee, with fine red fruit aromas. There is decent fruit on the palate too, though perhaps this is lacking a little when set against drying tannins. A lighter style for sure, and though balanced, slightly disappointing and rates only as very good on this showing.

Excellent
2000 Vintage Saved: 1-Jan-2021
Initially farm yard on the nose, then cedar and graphite. Grippy tannins, dark fruits, cassis, nice acid. Could have a little more depth of flavour but overall really enjoyable now
