Opened last week-end, with little expectations given the really bad wines they have made in the last 3 years.

However, the 2000 was really good! Showing some signs of age already, the nose was beautiful with really nice secondary flavours of leather (old and worn out leather), fresh tea leaves, dried flowers,etc.

The mouthfeel was interesting, following what the nose had announced but with still very present and refined tanins, a fresh acidity and a nice length.

I feel the wine fully deserves its RMP 90. And for the low price it sells at, I would certainly like to add a few bottles to my cellar.
