2000 Clos Mogador

The 2000 is slightly sweeter and lower in acidity than the 1999. It is an opaque purple-colored, full-bodied, dense effort revealing notes of black fruits, liquid minerals, and flowers. There are layers and layers of richness, tremendous opulence, and impressive purity as well as persistence. Wait 2-3 years before popping a cork on the 2000, and then enjoy it over the following 12-15 years. This is a knock-out wine! Wine Advocate.February, 2003

Medium ruby. Currant, chocolate, nuts and tobacco leaf on the nose; very cabernet. Dense and chunky, with reticent flavors of raspberry, redcurrant, violet and menthol. Finishes with substantial sweet but rather clenched tannins and very good length.
