It is the best vintage across the board for the left bank estates of the M doc in years as the Cabernet Sauvignon ripened fully showing depth of color, flavor and intensity with ripe tannins. The right bank, where Merlot is king, was a bit more scattered than in the past two vintages but many top wines were still made. Many of these estates are being bought by the owners of the great estates and transformed into excellent operations. One indicator of a top vintage was evident. Estates that often produce mediocre wines or worse have something worth drinking in 2000.
