Estimate
The 2000 Arietta tastes like an over-sized, phenomenal Cheval Blanc...A dense purple color is followed by scents of cocoa, underbrush, chocolaty black cherry and black currant fruit, minerals, truffles, and graphite...
Wild aromas of game, espresso, tobacco leaf and five-spice powder. Pliant in the mouth but not as expansive or deep as the riper vintages, displaying modest sweetness and finishing with slightly drying tannins...
Beautifully balanced still. More of a tenor than a dancer. Lovely stuff in reserve. Fine tannins.
Cabernet Franc and Merlot
