Doté d'un joli fruit, ce vin est élégant et riche, avec des tanins soyeux et une jolie rondeur. La finale est ample, un peu chaude, mais elle possède une belle longueur.

A sensational effort, and undeniably the finest wine to ever emerge from this estate, the opaque purple-colored 2000 offers scents of tobacco, camphor, graphite, creme de cassis, and licorice. This full-bodied, concentrated effort possesses low acidity, a multi-layered texture, tremendous intensity of flavor, and a persistent finish with considerable ripe, well-integrated tannin. This is a brilliant example of equilibrium and finesse allied to considerable power and flavor. Kudos to the Cathiards. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025.

Very subtle and complex, with tobacco, chocolate and ripe fruit character. Medium-bodied, with well-integrated, silky tannins and a long finish. Refined, yet muscular. Not the 1998, but very good indeed. Best after 2008. 8,330 cases made.

The finest Smith-Haut-Lafitte I have ever tasted, the opaque purple-colored 2000 offers scents of camphor, graphite, creme de cassis, and licorice. This full-bodied, concentrated effort possesses low acidity and a persistent finish with considerable ripe, well-integrated tannin. It is an impressive tour de force for this estate. Kudos to the Cathiards. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025.

2000 is the finest vintage yet produced during the nearly ten-year regime of the Cathiard family. As always, the wine displays considerable class, an intense flavor profile as well as nobility given its emphasis on balance and complexity with no heaviness. An opaque purple-colored effort, the 2000 exhibits beautifully-knit notes of black fruits intermixed with smoke, lead pencil, minerals, and charcoal. Deep and medium-bodied, with laser-like clarity, superb purity, sweet tannin, low acidity, and an intense, concentrated finish, this is a brilliant wine! Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025

Good saturated ruby to the rim. Aromas of black rapsberry, violet, and smoky, tarry oak. Very dense and sweet; really stuffed with black fruit and floral flavor. Chewy and powerful but with lovely purity and balance. Strong tannins seem successfully buffered by the wine depth of material. (april 2001)
