2000 Quinault L'Enclos, St-Emilion

While not performing nearly as well as I had hoped, the 2000 Quinault l‰۪Enclos is, nevertheless, an outstanding, fully mature St.-Emilion. Raspberry, black currant, and floral characteristics are accompanied by striking elegance, but less richness and intensity than I noted seven years ago. This wine is evolving quickly, and needs to be consumed over the next 5-7 years. (RP)
