St Emilion, Bordeaux
"Along with the 2001, the 2000 Destieux is one of the finest efforts I have tasted from this property. Its inky purple color is followed by copious quantities of underbrush, truffle, blackberry and cassis characteristics along with high tannin, a sweet mid-palate, and more depth in the mid-section than exhibited in past vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018. It is a sleeper of the vintage." - Rated 89, Robert Parker
"A firm, slightly lean 2000, with berry and tobacco character, medium body and a fresh finish. –JS" - Rated 85-88 Wine Spectator
