Description

Tasting Notes: Nose: Aromas of ripe plums, black cherries, cassis, and violets, with underlying earthy notes of truffle, tobacco, and wet forest floor. Hints of spice, such as cinnamon and cloves, may also develop with age. Palate: On the palate, expect a medium to full-bodied wine with velvety tannins. Flavors of dark fruits like blackberries and plums dominate, alongside notes of cedar, mocha, and mineral undertones. The wine is smooth and rich, with well-integrated tannins and a refined texture.
Finish: Long and polished finish with lingering notes of fruit, earth, and a touch of spice.
Aging Potential: The 2000 vintage in Bordeaux was exceptional, known for producing age-worthy wines. Château Lafleur-Gazin 2000 has aged beautifully and is likely at or near its peak now, though it could continue to evolve gracefully for a few more years if well-stored.
