The 2000 Clos de Sarpe is medium to deep garnet-purple in color and very meaty on the nose with scents of charcuterie and beef drippings over a core of Black Forest cake, plum pudding and tobacco with wafts of leather and cedar chest. Wow—medium to full-bodied, it absolutely fills the palate with sweet, rich, ripe fruit, supported by satiny tannins and oodles of freshness, finishing long and earthy. (LPB)

Notes

96 points Robert Parker in Wine Advocate: "Readers who require immediate gratification will dislike this wine, which is one of the most concentrated behemoths and tannic blockbusters of the vintage. This is very much in keeping with the proprietor’s intention to make wines such as they made in the 19th century, and ones that can last 50+ years. Still young, with plenty of noticeable new oak, this 2000 tastes like a 3 to 4-year old St.-Emilion. Plenty of barbecue smoke, graphite, blackberry, and plum characteristics are present in both the aromatics and flavors of this broodingly backward, massive monster." (6/2010)
