    Full ruby-red. Penetrating, highly perfumed aromas of sappy dark berries, violet and minerals seems less oaky today than the '01. Offers compelling mouthfilling concentration and perfume. A wine of great power and consistency, with a pungent minerality lingering on the palate-staining finish. This somehow doesn't flag or grow narrower even after one swallows or spits. Makes the 2002 seem almost dry in comparison. Wine-of-the-vintage material.

    Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: 94 points

    Bright medium ruby. Explosively perfumed aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, violet, bitter chocolate, minerals, mint and sexy oak. Powerful, superconcentrated and seamless, with superb inner-mouth aromas. Very full and sophisticated. The finish boasts uncanny flavor complexity, with major, ripe tannins reaching every nook and cranny of the palate. Built for the long haul.

    Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine: 94 points

    1er Cru Classe. Perhaps the most immediate and intensely prefumed wine of a very distinguished lot, this latest opus from Chateau Margaux is awash in creamy oak, violets and very deep, relatively juicy young fruit while still allowing scattered glimmers of leather and woodsy spice to make themselves known. Close to California in its sheer force of fruit, it has a firmer Gallic structure nonetheless, and it finishes with fresh acidity accentuating its ample tannins and clearly wants for patience.

    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.
