2000 Vintage Bordeaux Tasting

"Never understood a single word he said but I helped him drink his wine…and he always had some mighty fine wine." -- 3 Dog Night





I remember the 2000 vintage from Bordeaux very well, the reports of how great the vintage was after harvest and with the millennial vintage on the label, this was sure to be a vintage that would be in great demand.  The wines were bubbling away in their fermentation tanks and consumers were eager to buy them even before Robert Parker Jr's lips or any other wine critic had even whiffed the fumes of the juices, but the hype had begun.

The wines sold out quickly once the reviews hit and it was one of the last years that there were a lot of reasonably priced wines in the Grand Cru Classe range from the left bank on futures.  The 2000 vintage from Bordeaux is just starting to drink at or near their peak but the top wines are still very youthful.  We just received a small selection of 2000 vintage Bordeaux and whenever we get a dozen or more wines from a vintage like 2000 it is time to put an event on the calendar to put some work in. 





As I like to say we are doing scientific research with wine and you know that I can’t resist myself when I get wines like this in so I immediately put a date on the calendar to drink some of these 2000 vintage Bordeaux before they are gone again!
