                                | Tasting Note: | Wine Advocator #146(4/2003)Rating: 95 points  Drink: 2008-2025 A wine of superb concentration and dazzling intensity, the impressive 2000 Lafleur-Petrus is tasting even better out of bottle than it did from cask. A deep saturated purple-colored, full-bodied, powerful example that is clearly in a class with the 1998, it may be the finest Lafleur-Petrus made in the last 50 years. The 2000 exhibits plenty of cocoa, black cherry, plum, and currant fruit, a large framework, and impressive concentration as well as power. I always thought this was an improved "bigger" version of the 1975, and I have no reason to think otherwise based on its performance from bottle. - Robert Parker
 
 Wine spectator (3/31/2003)Score range: 92
 Very silky young red. Bright aromas of pressed flowers and blueberries. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Subtle red. Solid. Needs time. Best after 2010. 3,600 cases made. –JS
 
 Decanter Rating:
  Reserved and well within itself but a certain opulence on the palate with a hint of confit fruit, coffee bean and oak and firmness on the finish. Ready 2010-2012. (tasted en primeur)
