Chateau La Couspaude Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2000
Chateau La Couspaude Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2000
70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Definitely made in a flashy style, La Couspaude is rich and toasty with layered, sweet middle fruit and a firm finish. Black cherry aromas and some black licorice flavors. The abundant tannins will ensure a long cellar life.
Critical Acclaim

This is a lavishly fruity, toasty, seductive wine with no hard edges. It possesses terrific fat and a sweet, opulent, multi-layered style. Possessing a dense ruby/purple color along with copious quantities of black cherry liqueur, espresso, mineral, oak, and roasted nut characteristics, this layered, voluptuous, full-throttle effort should be drinkable in 2-3 years and last for 16+. A full-bodied wine, it is sexy stuff.

Serious wine. Loads of chocolate, raspberry and cherry character. Full-bodied, with lots of vanilla and reduced raspberry flavors. Long and caressing. Modern and exciting. Best Couspaude I have ever tasted.
