A couple more 2000 babies,.

Ch. LaLande d'Auvion, Medoc. A deep ruby color that was almost opaque. Reticent nose. Cassis, black fruits, and a spicy component that was very nice. Good entry, a solid center and nice finish. Lots of tannins that needs at least 7-10 to resolve. A sleeper that has lots of upside. 88/90. 13 by the box.
Ch. Champ de Durand, St Emilion. Brite clear ruby, with beautiful aromatics. Floral, red fruits, vanilla, and cinnamon come thru on the palate. Silky entry, solid center, and a marvelopus 4 lapper finish. Another killer bottling from the 2000 vintage. Seductive soft tannins will carry this hummer for at least 6-8. 91/91. 14 by the box.
