"Absolutely compelling in two tastings of this vintage,the 2000 Margaux is composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot.The extraordinary seductiveness,complex aromatics,and purity it exhibits lead me to believe it has reached its window of full maturity.Medium-bodied,with layers of concentration,stunning blue,red,and black fruits intermixed with spring flowers,a subtle dosage of new oak,and a distinctive personality that is elegant while at the same time powerful and substantial,this is a multi-dimensional wine that was extremely approachable and drinkable in both tastings I had of it.The color remains a healthy,even opaque bluish/purple,but there is no reason to hesitate to drink it.It should evolve for another 30-40 years,so there is no hurry either".

"This is like smelling an amazing bouquet of flowers,deep and thought provoking.Note of strawberries,and raspberries round out the refined nose.Full and silky.More than just silky really,it is almost transparent.Incredibly mellow,yet enticing.It is difficult to find the perfect word...It is a ethereal as Paul Pontellier,managing director of Chateau Margaux says.The impeccable balance makes this perfect to drink now,but it will get even better with more time.This is already ageless".

"If a wine can ever be perfect,this is as perfect as a wine can get.Right from the beginning,it was wine of the vintage,and nothing has changed.Margaux was the last of the First Growths to be bottled because it just needed extra time in barrel.The wine now has huge black cherry and blackberry fruits,plus marvelous tannins that are sweet and powerful.To finish,the magnificent Margaux perfume of sandalwood and ripe fruit dominates,leaving an impression of finesse and power".

"Muscular,but classy.Breathtaking aromas of black licorice,violets,berry and cherry,with light hints of spices and minerals.It's all there in the nose.Full-bodied,with an ultrafine tannin structure and a finish that goes on for minutes.This may turn out to be even better than the 1995,due to its layers and layers of fine tannins and fruit,but I can't give it more than 100 Points.Best after 2015".
