Chateau 2000 french wine. Chateau Mazeris Canon Fronsac 2000 is a truly beautiful French wine from Bordeaux at an incredibly affordable price. On the nose, the wine has aromas that are free-flowing with lots of blackcurrant, a little bit of bramble, some leather and wood. On the palate, it's intense and fruity as the merlot really comes through. Again the blackcurrant and blackberry is there, with a little of baked plum and toffee on the very back of the finish. Its mouthfeel is smooth and luxuriant with silky tannins that at eight years old, are completely approachable. Chateau Mazeris 2000 has a lovely big structure, its full bodied and the finish is long. This Chateau 2000 is a beautiful wine for people who dip into Saint Emilion, as it is a completely sensible alternative that offers what is great value. It's hard to find this quality at such an affordable price.

RATING: "Produced from very old vines, it has an uncanny resemblance to the great Pomerol, Lafleur, at about one-seventh the price. Dense in color with an intense blackcurrant, plummy bouquet, great concentration, full body, and plenty of tannins, this is an amazing wine for drinking over the next 10-15 years. Join me in line for it!" Robert Parker (The Wine Advocate)
