Château Le Tertre-Rôteboeuf--Vintage 2000
Saint-Emilion, grand cru classé
In original wooden six-bottle cases
Tasting note: My all-time favorite vintage of Tertre-Rôteboeuf, the 2000 should age much more consistently than the rather irregular 1990 or the top-notch 1989. The 2005 should give it a run for its money down the road, but at present, this wine is performing fabulously well. It boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with notes of kirsch liqueur and licorice. This St.-Emilion could pass for a great Châteauneuf-du-Pape or top-notch Musigny, although it has more power and depth than a burgundy, and none of the peppery/garrigue characteristics of a Rhône. Nevertheless, there is a sweet character from the high glycerin level as I suspect the alcohol content exceeds 14 Velvety textured and full-bodied, but surprisingly youthful, this stunningly rich wine can be drunk now, but promises to last another two decades.
