Tasting notes
The 2000 d'Angludet is a vintage that I have not tasted for many years. It is mature on the nose with dusky black fruit, loam, rusty piping and brown spice aromas. It has evolved more than I expected. That said, I find the palate is well balanced and displays a bit of rigidity, even after 21 years. Firm, conservative and a bit "serious" for its own good (not unlike many 2000s), I might be inclined to see whether another couple of years will loosen up this Margaux. Tasted at the château.

Definitely Margaux and therefore to be congratulated. Very deep crimson with a nose still made up of disparate elements. Not the most exciting Margaux 2000 but very creditable. (JR)
The 2000 is an uncompromising, traditional claret, displaying a deep ruby color and a nose of cedar, damp earth, plums, and currants. Medium to full-bodied, solidly tannic, and attractive, it will age well for 10-15 years. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2017.
