CHATEAU GRAND PUY LACOSTE 2000 Stock: 9376 Make no mistake: this is one of the greatest wines of the vintage and in due time, the crowds will find out. The price is still very low for a great 2000 Bordeaux so take advantage while you can. This large-scaled wine has a saturated ruby/purple color and a big creme de cassis nose, with a hint of licorice and tobacco. Still somewhat closed, this deep, full-bodied, luscious, muscular offering exhibits ripe tannin, loads of fruit, and tremendous purity. This is a gorgeous example of one of the most popular wines in the Medoc. Its savory tannin and low acidity suggest it should be close to its plateau of drinkability in 4-6 years. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020+. 93 points R. Parker n/a
