2000 Clos René, Pomerol & Clos du Jaugueyron Margaux Horizontal

“Licorice and berry flavors, with hints of minerals and flowers. Medium-bodied, with lovely tannins and a long, pretty finish. Always a pretty red. (JS)” (03/2003)

“A seductive, classic Pomerol in its open-knit, forward display of roasted coffee scents intermixed with caramel, black cherry jam, and some sweet, toasty oak, this is a lush, medium to full-bodied, dark ruby-colored wine with good flesh, low acidity, and excellent purity. (RP)” (04/2003)

“Dark ruby. Superripe, oaky aromas of raw blackberry, licorice and bitter chocolate. More concentrated than most recent vintages of this wine; not yet complex, but ripe, solid and well-made. The chocolatey quality carries through on the palate and aftertaste.” (05/2001)
