Note di degustazione
Very very heavy bottle. Négociant clearly stated on the label. Dark ruby. Lovely, mature, pongy, aged Syrah. A hint of rubber and lots of black pepper. Quite a bit of both salt and acidity. Very fine tannins. Very elegant. But it definitely needs food! (JR)

While the 2000 Tardieu-Laurent offerings are excellent for the vintage, they are significantly less concentrated and textured compared to the awesome 1999s. The 1999s which were given fabulous ratings from barrel, were not tasted from bottle. However, given part experience with bottled Tardieu-Laurent wines, they are undoutedly as good as I predicted from cask. They are not racked until bottling, produced with minimal levels of SO2, and bottled with neither fining nor filtration. Importers: Martin Scott Wines, Little Neck, NY; tel.
