45+ minutes open in the bottle. Dark cherry color. Nose filled with black cherry, tobacco, and subtle French terroir. Cherry, caramel, and tar on the palate. Tastes like candy! Lacks power and tannins as the Merlot dominates. Very long finish. Very similar to the 2005 Chateau Dassault but twice the price. Definitely drink sooner rather than later. Unfortunately I just bought 2 bottles of the 2000 and am concerned, especially since 2005 was such an awesome vintage.

À l’ouverture, les arômes embaument la cuisine! Nez de fruits rouges, tabac, les herbes, le 5 épices, un brin de sucrosité.
En bouche c’est soyeux, velouté, il y a de la matière. La fruits rouges, la cerise, le cuir, les herbes, un brin de « sweetness », la canelle. Chaque gorgé amenait des étages de saveurs
Belle trame tannique, bonne acidité qui supporte le tout. Longue finale. C’est excellent! Longue vie à cette bouteille.. la prochaine dans 5-7 ans

17.5/20 (93/100) Вино с уже развившимся букетом ароматов чернослива, черешни, чёрных лесных ягод, шоколада, гвоздики, кожи и сухой шерсти. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и бархатистыми, чуть липкими танинами. Продолжительное послевкусие. Отлично!

Classic Pessac L., near the top of the range and near its top form too. Very nice now. Better with more age? Maybe. But why wait?
