Uma das maiores colheitas do final do século XX. Concentrado em
Cabernet Sauvignon,
Château Margaux 2000 apresenta um
paladar suave e
elegante que nos recorda as colheitas de 1990 e 1996
. Com uma
textura ligeiramente mais apertada do que as suas colheitas anteriores, mantém no entanto um
acabamento macio e
muito longo. Um Premier Grand Cru Classé da denominação
Margaux, o
Château Margaux 2000 é um vinho
excepcional.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Tasted blind, the 2000 Chateau Margaux was a reminder of the peaks that the millennial vintage could reach. Noticeably deep in color, the bouquet rivets you to the seat with copious red berry fruit, clove and truffle, hints of cedar emerging with time. As the aromatics open and aerate, the fruit profile seems to darken and manifests blackcurrants and bilberries. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin. There is immense depth and symmetry conveyed by this First Growth, quite masculine for the estate with a gentle but insistent grip. It is a brilliant wine that flirts with perfection. Afford it another 3-4 years if you can, because it will last decades. Tasted November 2016.
