Vintage information 2000:

A super year for whites, concentrated, certainly ripe but good balancing acidity.
The reds are clearly from a 'ripe' vintage but all started quite delicious. Then followed a mawkish phase. Occasional Côte de Nuits wines can even rival the imperious 99s though the average quality is a lower. In the Côte de Beaune, most wines were wonderfully ripe, joyous even on release. Many recent bottles are back to form - even with hints of maturity, but do yourself a favour and wait a little longer for your grand crus...

2000 Reitz Paul, MarangesNov. 2004
Not quite medium ruby colour, just a little cherry still evident. The nose starts off a bit thin then develops orange and cherry notes. The palate is medium concentrated and quite metallic in the finish. With about 1 hour of aeration (or perhaps it was the pasta interlude) the wine takes on a sweeter note though is still a little tart on the finish. Very cheap in the Swiss Co-Op, but a good Bourgogne Rouge would show it a clean pair of heals
