TN: 2000 Château Rauzan-Gassies

  If based upon the nose alone, this wine would have easily scored 93-94 points. Deep and alluring aromas of coffee, roses, black currants, Asian spices, and fresh herbs. Powerful on the attack, and quite broad and generous on the midpalate, but rather weak and watery on the finish. Such a shame, but the nose was fantastic! (91 pts.)

And still so young! Surely this wine will become quite a blockbuster

indeed, i thoroughly enjoyed this wine and think it will provide enjoyment over the next 5-10 years. the finish, however, does make me think that it will start to decline after that.
