A ripe, gorgeous wine, the 2000 Château Mouton Rothschild is based on 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot that was raised in 85% new French oak. Blackcurrants, smoky tobacco, chocolate, and graphite all emerge on the nose, and on the palate, it's full-bodied, with a deep, layered mid-palate, ripe, velvety tannins, and a great finish. The volume, richness, and depth here are all classic Mouton, yet it nevertheless stays in the focused, more structured style of the vintage. It's just now hitting its prime drinking window and will cruise for another 40-50 years. Drink 2026-2076.HK$125,475.00 -

This wine stands out as a sensational effort just a few years away from full maturity. A 50/50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine displays loads of scorched earth and smoky barbecue scents along with blueberry, black raspberry and black currant. The wine is expansive, has a savory, broad palate and a full-bodied mouthfeel, yet possesses vivid purity and uplift. The tannins are still present, but they are sweet and well-integrated. This wine should hit full maturity in another year or two and last for at least 20 more years.HK$17,160.00 -

Another tour de force and a consistent 100-pointer in my view, the 2000 Château Pavie offers extravagant amounts of smoky black fruits, tobacco leaf, chocolate, truffly earth, crushed stone, and hints of iron on the nose. It's full-bodied, deep, rich, and opulent on the palate, with sweet tannins, no hard edges, and a blockbuster finish. This is the definition of a great wine: richness and opulence paired with flawless balance, no sensation of weight or heaviness, and incredible complexity and depth. It's drinking at its peak today yet should hold at this level for another 10-15 years or so, with a gradual decline thereafter. Drink 2026-2041.HK$43,240.00 -

A beautiful crushed rock/liqueur of minerality characterizes this inky/purple-hued St.-Emilion. Tannic, with lots of pure black raspberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with a notion of charcoal as well as the aforementioned rocky/powdered stone component, this long distance runner requires another 5-6 years of cellaring. It should age easily through 2030+.HK$8,960.00 -

Gorgeous and just a joy to drink today, the 2000 Château Margaux Pavillon Rouge offers cassis, currants, spicy wood, dried flowers, and smoke on the nose. It's round, supple, and medium to full-bodied on the palate, with completely resolved and integrated tannins, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a great finish. Drink this complex, layered, beautiful Pavillon Rouge over the coming decade or more. Drink 2026-2036.HK$17,160.00 -

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (90-92)
Bright, deep ruby. Floral, perfumed aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, cherry, violet pastille, mint and shoe polish; I find strong merlot and cabernet character here, which makes for a complex nose indeed. Lush, dense and rather high-pitched; a lovely combination of sheer fruit and finesse. Still youthfully backward, but already shows superb sucrosity and silkiness of texture. Almost no sign of the new oak today. Solidly structured Pomerol, finishing long and subtle, with a note of chocolatey torrefaction. The tannins hit the palate late and coat the back of the mouth. This offers terrific potential.HK$7,475.00 -

Logo bouchon : un T renversé Couleur sombre et légèrement évoluée. Nez fin, fruité, frais, réglissé, crémeux. Note de goudron, de fleur et de merlot sur argile. Très belle entrée en bouche ample puis le vin se développe complexe sur une texture serrée, particulièrement savoureuse, aromatique et noble. Il fond au milieu et s’achève délicat et puissant à la fois sur une très grande longueur à la tanicité raffinée. Wouha !HK$44,120.00 -

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc aged 15 months in 80% new barrels, the 2000 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron is a gorgeous wine from this team. There's clearly some secondary nuances and solid maturity, yet it's in such a great spot, with currants, smoky tobacco, leather, and spicy nuances all defining the bouquet. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a pure, layered mouthfeel, still present yet polished tannins, and a great finish. It shows beautifully today, with that terrific mix of maturity, richness, and balance, and it should hold here for another 15-20 years with a gradual decline thereafter.

Of all the 2000s tasted in the line-up, this was the one that was most evolved, with melted tannins and exotic saffron spice notes. It’s a beautiful wine, very classic Pauillac, full of tertiary hints of truffle, soft menthol and undergrowth - signatures of an older Bordeaux wine that is wonderful to drink now. It’s probably the most perfect of the five for cracking open over the next few years but may not have the staying power of the others. Interesting to note how much higher the pH is here (3.85) than Leoville (3.5) considering it’s practically next door. 10% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Harvest 21 September 21 to 9 October.HK$7,940.00 -

A serious, nuanced, classic Pauillac, the 2000 Château Pontet-Canet is based on 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc that was brought up in 50% new oak barrels, 35% in concrete amphorae, and 15% in one-wine oak barrels. Showing a touch of maturity with its ripe blackcurrant, leather, truffly earth, graphite, and smoky nuances on the nose, it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a pure, graceful, balanced mouthfeel, nicely resolved yet still present tannins, and outstanding length. It's complex, nuanced, and ready to go, yet will clearly hold here nicely for another two decades or so given its tannins and acidity. Drink 2026-2046.HK$13,870.00 -

Best ever from this estate. Fabulous aromas of blackberries and ripe currants. Full-bodied, with super well-integrated tannins and a long, long finish. An excellent quality wine. Best after 2010. 12,500 cases made. -JSHK$8,720.00 -

A classic, serious wine, the 2000 Château Rauzan-Ségla sports a medium ruby/garnet hue with a kiss of amber as well as gorgeous notes of currants, smoky tobacco, graphite, cedary herbs, and assorted red and black fruits on the nose. Based on 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot and aged 18 months in 60% new French oak, it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a focused, layered mouthfeel, ample tannins, and a great finish. It's another classy, serious 2000 that has another two decades or more of prime drinking ahead of it. Drink 2026-2046.HK$1,325.00 -

Beautifully perfumed notes of ripe cherries, currants, white truffle, and leafy tobacco emerge from the 2000 Château Smith Haut Lafitte, a stunning Pessac-Léognan that is undeniably drinking well yet has another 10-15 years of prime drinking ahead of it. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a seamless, layered mouthfeel, resolved tannins, and a great finish. It's impeccably balanced and will have a gradual decline after reaching its peak.

Extremely young with an unbelievable deep purple color, the 2000 Troplong Mondot has hardly budged since I tasted it in 2003. Two recent tastings confirmed that this is the greatest Troplong Mondot between their profound 1990 and more recent vintages such as 2005, 2008, and 2009. Copious chocolate, graphite, blackberry, blueberry, cassis, and ink characteristics are present in this full-bodied, powerful, massive St.-Emilion. While the tannins are noticeable, they are better integrated than they were seven years ago, and the fruit, extract, and richness clearly outweigh the wine's structure. This 2000 will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring (longer than I originally predicted), and has at least two decades of drinkability ahead of it.HK$15,280.00 -

Deep garnet-hued with just a kiss of bricking, the 2000 Château Trotanoy comes from one of my favorite châteaux and is a remarkably complex effort with ripe black fruits, smoked tobacco, iron, and graphite-driven aromatics. It's full-bodied on the palate and has a multi-dimensional mouthfeel, sweet, polished tannins, ample mid-palate volume, and a gorgeous finish. I don't think it quite matches the otherworldly 1998, but this is an absolutely riveting Trotanoy to enjoy over the coming 15+ years. Drink 2026-2041.HK$18,310.00 -

A Merlot-heavy blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, the 2000 Château Valandraud is a classic 2000 with its focused, structured style. It offers beautifully ripe red and black fruits, smoky tobacco, chocolatey and graphite nuances, and a beautiful sense of minerality on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a focused, layered mouthfeel, the structure, tannins, and acidity of the vintage, and a great finish. It's mature yet has the tension and depth to evolve gracefully, and I would wager this is the finest wine produced by Jean-Luc since the debut here. Drink 2026-2041.HK$25,480.00 -

Another example that Nature has some regard for the creations of man, with the 2000 vintage offering a grand final bow for the Millennium. To describe the weather as other than perfect would be near folly, as the harvest went off without a hitch. The Merlot came off midway through September and a touch of rain in October allowed the Cabernet to hang on a bit longer before being harvested at perfect phenolic ripeness.The Left Bank has the edge but in truth there is little between the Medoc and Libournais in such a good year!
