Halo 2000 (Trefethen) help.

stuff is killer- but it should not be over $120 for 2000 vintage

Thank you Sprinkler. Did you have the 2000?

Anyone else?

I've tried it at the winery.... thought it was pretty good, but not $120 pretty good.

The label (not to morph this into the other thread I started) is gorgeous, though.

Yeah, It was good- Slight tempande- typical of the vintage- I remember it was balanced.

I had it on bottle 3 at a dinner- about a year ago when it was released.

I've tried the 1999 & 2000 Halo and I posted TN's on the 1999, and I think I posted TN's on the 2000 also.

Anyway---Don't pay the $150 for the 2000, it falls far short of the 1999. Personally, the 2000 should be priced about $50/60. While the bottle is heavy and larger than the Phelps Insignia bottle, the punt is especially deep, and the label is outstanding with leaded bright colors and shadows, the juice just doesn't have the body and flavors of the 1999! Again, the 1999 is a thick, rich, mouth coating, fabulously flavorable experience that needs 5/10 years in the bottle. The 2000 can be poured straight from the bottle. Still, I'm sure this is the best Cabernet that Trefethen has ever produced, and the 1999 Halo is an exceptional wine!

Use the "Find" tool above and search for Halo, I'm sure the notes are there. Good Luck!

Sweet Melissa, The Sprinkler, and Latour67: Thank you all for your comments, as they have helped me make my decision. I also have to admit; that label is outstanding! (but I may have to pass unless I get a good deal).

I'll look for your TNs now Latour69.
