94 Points - Wine Spectator

Glorious aromas of freshly picked raspberries, with tiny hints of cream and minerals. Full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a long, long finish of berries and cherries. Super second wine from Margaux. Best Pavillon Rouge I have ever tasted. Best after 2010.

89 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2000 Pavillon Rouge exhibits a medium to dark ruby color with some lightening at the edge, along with cedar, spice box, black cherry and currant notes. It is evolved and fully mature, with Robert Parker recommending consumption over the following four to five years.
