A mature Bordeaux from Saint-Émilion, offering up a dark fruited nose, with notes of mocha, violets and cedar. Beautifully integrated on the palate, accompanied by the tertiary complexity of a wine that has seen extensive bottle aging.

The 2000 Clos de l’Oratoire, matured in 90% new oak for 18 months, has an attractive nose of leather, earth, cedar and fern aromas, nicely detailed and exuding Pessac typicité. It might lack a little intensity but this is not a serious flaw. The palate is medium-bodied with simple brambly red fruit laced with orange peel; there’s just a touch of brettanomyces here. It attenuates a little toward the finish and maybe fades too quickly, but otherwise it has retained freshness, if not the vigor it must have had in its youth. Neal Martin1st September 2021
