A tremendous effort, and certainly the best La Conseillante since the marvelous duo of 1989 and 1990, the 2000 offers up notes of blackberries and kirsch liqueur intermixed with licorice, incense, spice box, and copious amounts of toasty oak. As the wine sits in the glass, black raspberries, blueberries, smoke along with floral notes emerge. There is tremendous purity, medium to full body, great precision and concentration. Unlike most vintages of La Conseillante, the 2000 will require patience. A bottle kept open refused to oxidize until day six! Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025. RATED "96" Robert Parker
Vivid aromas of berries, flowers and minerals follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a fresh, clean finish. refined and harmonious. Best after 2008. RATED "90" Wine Spectator
