2000 Chateau Peyraud

IK: my local shop had been touting this, but seeing your post made me try some. thanks for the tip. my TN...

($9.99) bright ruby, going toward orange at rim. cherry aromas leaped from the glass, along with earth and notes of spice, barnyard and tar. very good, concentrated flavors of cherry and spices, with just a hint of green pepper. very good entry and midpalate, with a decent finish. a silky mouthfeel, good acidity and minimal tannins. very nice expression of terroir for the price. drink over the next two years. 86 points.
