Plenty of crushed berry, with flowers and hints of toasted oak. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a round, creamy aftertaste. Modern and refined. Very well-done for this château. James Suckling

More of a finesse-styled St.-Emilion than many other wines from this hotbed of activity, the 2000 is the finest Berliquet yet produced. It exhibits an impressive saturated ruby/purple color as well as jammy cherry and cassis liqueur aromas, medium to full body, sweet tannin, a multi-tiered mid-palate, and a long finish. An elegant wine, it is a sleeper of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020.

Full medium ruby. Highly aromatic nose of black cherry, cassis and violet. Juicy and perfumed in the mouth, with lively, rather cool flavors of black fruits, violet and spice. Subtle and stylish. Finishes with firm, sweet tannins and very good length.
