Product details
The First Vintage of the new millennium will be remembered for its fine quality. The 2000 vintage allows Christian Mouiex's Bordeaux-style of winemaking to shine through. This wine explodes in the mid-palate, with essences of spices and leather. The long, lingering finish displays a harmony of tobacco, coffee and fruit.
