Finally, a reasonably good effort from this underachiever, Bouscaut's 2000 possesses a dark ruby/purple color in addition to aromas of spicy new oak, red and black currant fruit. While superficial, there is more to it than most previous vintages have contained. Medium-bodied, with sweet tannin, and a nicely-textured, moderately-endowed finish, it will drink well until 2015.
