"A sensational effort and undeniably the finest wine to ever emerge from this estate,the opaque purple-colored 2000 offers scents of tobacco,camphor,graphite,creme de cassis,and licorice.This full-bodied,concentrated effort possesses low acidity,a multi-layered texture,tremendous intensity of flavor,and a persistent finish with considerable ripe,well-integrated tannin.This is a brilliant example of equilibrium and finesse,added to considerable power and flavor.Kudos to the Cathiards. anticipated maturity: 2008-2025".

Robert Parker tasted this wine seven years later and upgraded its rating to 95 Points:-
"One can't say enough about this winery,which may still fly under the radar of most consumers.The fully mature 2000 displays gorgeous aromas of camphor,lead pencil shavings,unsmoked tobacco,plums,and black currants.With full-body,a velvety texture,and beautiful weight,richness and length,this superb wine should evolve,possibly improve for another 15 years.It's a beauty!".
