18474 Montrachet - Vintage 2000
Sauzet
(Wines Located in New York)
"...made from purchased must sourced from Domaine Th nard, whose vines are on the Chassagne side of the appellation aged in 67% new oak. The 99 Montrachet more closely resembled the B tard whereas the 2000 more closely resembles the Chevalier as this is very discreet and understated with elegant, detailed, and fine aromas yet they are deep and full. There is an indescribable purity of expression here, as though this was derived from liquid rocks and this displays a superb density and sappiness. Despite the power and volume, this comes across as almost silky with stupendous intensity and length that is borderline hard to believe. This may one day surpass the Chevalier but there is slightly better overall harmony and elegance in the Chevy but at this rarified quality level, both will be in my cellar."(95pts BH)

Succulent, full-bodied, and seamless, with a sensational mid-palate as well as a 45-second finish, it will drink well young (because of low acidity and incredibly ripe fruit), but last for 15-18 years."(92-94pts)

The opaque purple-colored 1999 boasts a spectacularly nuanced perfume of blackberries, Crème de cassis, licorice, garrigue, and spice. Massive yet opulent and unctuously-textured, with exceptional purity as well as a sexy, voluptuous finish, it is drinking fabulously, and, given its richness and overall harmony, will continue to do so for 15-16 years.

1vlstl (Wines Located in New York)
"A blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Mourv dre, 10% Syrah, and 5% Counoise, all aged in large wood foudres prior to being bottled without filtration, was produced from low yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by a sweet bouquet of figs, raspberries, new saddle leather, autumnal forest floor, and resiny notes. Full-bodied with beautiful purity as well as a strikingly rich mouthfeel, this seriously endowed Châteauneuf admirably conceals its 14.5% alcohol. A structured finish and impressive extract levels suggest considerable longevity. This firmly tannic, intensely concentrated 2001 boasts great aromatic and palate presence, but it remains young and unevolved."(95pts)

Super-ripe and full-bodied, with a massive mid-section, teeth-staining extract, and mouth-searing tannin, it is a monster-sized La Chapelle."(96pts)

The 1998's dark purple color is followed by soaring aromas of blackberries/cherries, licorice, dried herbs, and spice box. This deep, viscous, opulently-textured, full-bodied wine represents the essence of old vine Châteauneuf du Pape. Multidimensional, thick, and succulent, it has a finish that lasts close to a minute."(94pts)

It has finally emerged, and notes of iodine, seaweed, black currants, incense, and sweet cherries as well as hot rocks jump from the glass of this full-bodied, powerful wine. It possesses considerable elegance and purity, along with loads of raspberries and incense, in a round, juicy, rich style that is just emerging from the closet."(95pts)
