A monumental Vintage
Robert Parker Jr. has just retasted the 2000 vintage which is now close to the end of its oak barrel aging. Just a few months before bottling, the wine seems as promising as ever and, on this occasion, Mr Parker raised various of his previous ratings, such as Chateau Petrus 2000 which is now at 96-99/100. From his point of view ,"remarkably consistent from top to bottom, there has never been a year where so many exceptional wines were produced."
It is definitely not too late to acquire a few more 2000 and many are now available per bottle!
