2000 Clos des Papes

[JimHow]

Basically perfect. I mean, not a hundred pointer by any means, but just all the elements perfectly present. Balanced, alcohol in check, but still a nice sexiness to it. Yum. Drinking beautifully right now and for another 15 years. Fading a bit at the rim but by no means approaching maturity. 95 points.

Cheers for the tasting notes. I have some 09's tucked away as (perhaps like others) the 09/10 Bordeaux's are simply beyond my means and so am discovering/investing in Southern Rhone instead.
