Had my first stab at this Bdx. Superieur and I was shocked at how good it was. I am going to say this right from the beginning, it must be decanted for 90 minutes to get the full effect. The color was a dark purple with a hint of orange at the rim. It is by far the greatest Bdx. Superieur I have EVER had. The aroma was a combination of fresh cut flowers, spice, and like RP says a decent amount of cedar. The palate screams of a plethora of dark fruits with blackcurrents dominating. At the 90 minute point (from decanter) the tannins become resolved and sweet and the nose explodes. I wish I had a case of this stuff. if you have several open one and decant......and watch the smiles appear. 92pts.

Reignac's 2000, a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, cropped at 25 hectoliters per hectare and aged 100% on its lees in new oak, exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color, an impressively complex nose of black currants intermixed with graphite, vanilla, and cedar. The wine is medium to full-bodied, dense, rich, and the qualitative equivalent of a top classified growth from the Medoc. Another 2000 that has to be tasted to be believed
