Ranked #2 of 20 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon from Wilyabrup
96/100
5 Stars
Huon Hooke
Very deep, youthful colour presages an impressively young, concentrated, powerful cabernet which displays very ripe fruit and tremendous depth of flavour. The tannins are ample and soft, the finish long. There are cedar and roasting-pan complexities in the bouquet and appropriate signs of age development, but the wine has many years ahead of it. A superb and striking cabernet. (cork; 14.5% alc.)

91 Points Robert Parker
The ripe 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon displays a style somewhere between a Pauillac and St.-Emilion. A dense purple color is accompanied by aromas of black currants, tobacco, licorice, and French oak. Spicy and medium to full-bodied, with considerable depth and richness, it can be drunk now and over the next 10-15 years.
