A fabulous Bon Pasteur that is even better out of bottle than it was from cask, this dense purple-colored 2000 offers up notes of smoke, charcoal, roasted nuts, blackberries and cherry jam infused with toasty oak. There is superb richness, low acidity, silky tannin, and an impressively full-bodied, muscular, chewy mid-palate and finish. This brilliant wine transcends its terroir ... a tribute to the commitment and talent of proprietors Dany and Michel Rolland. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2017. -Wine Advocate

Rating: 3/5 - As reviewed by Decanter. Intense colour, very rich extracted style with vanilla oak on the palate and nose. Loads of fruit but little dry on the finish at present. Ready 2010-2015. (tasted en primeur)
