This vintage is beautifully balanced with complex notes of viscous black fruit, figs, roasted espresso beans, and hints of herbs (sage, fennel) with pipe tobacco on the delightfully satisfying finish.

Intensely satisfying hints of inky dark fruit (currants, plums, blackberry) combine with tantalizing notes of balsamic, sage, pipe tobacco, and baking spices (cinnamon).

The 2000 Sarget de Gruaud-Larose is sitting in its sweet spot after 16 years of aging.
