"The 2000 Clos St. Denis from the Seysses family is one of the most transparent examples of the vintage I have tasted in recent times, which is not always the strongest suit for this vintage. The bouquet is really beautiful, delivering a complex aromatic constellation of red cherries, raspberries, coffee, cinnamon, mineral-laced forest floor, mustard seed and a nice base of cedary wood. On the palate the wine is fullish, pure and tangy, with a lovey signature of soil, melting tannins and outstanding focus and grip on the long, refined and complex finish. Like several other 2000 grand crus, the structure is still present here, but the wine is so impeccably balanced that it is hard not to say it is at its apogee, despite the fact that it still has decades of life ahead of it."
