  Purchased en primeur from Prima Wine. Not decanted. 100% Merlot. Drinking well, but I don’t see any reason to hold. Tannins resolved, and it isn’t a blockbuster. Why risk it at this point? Coffee, currant, blackberry. Medium finish.

  Opened 4 hours in advance and brought to a right bank tasting with friends. Cherry, plum, leather, on the palate dark fruit, slight mushroom, good acidity, dense, harmonious, resolved tannins, long finish. Still in very good shape, but will not develop more.

  Tasted twice with consistent notes. Nice right bank bouquet, secondary mushroom flavours with some wood. Extracted style with grainy tannins still to sort themselves out. Could use more elegance. Expected more for 2000

  We coravined a glass after a steak dinner to chase a 2001 Chateau Angelus, and the Croix de Labrie exceeded our expectations. The wine did not need more than a few minutes in the glass before the nose opened. Well structured, but not dominated by tannins at this stage. Finish was long, approaching 45 seconds. We think this wine is at the pinnacle of its drinking window, and we look forward to drinking the remaining bottles over the next 12 months.
