Claude Dugat, Gevrey-Chambertin 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon The 2003 vintage for Ric90 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar Deep, bright ruby red. Sexy fruit aromas of blueberry and black raspberry, with complicating hints of violet and gibier Sweet, full and deep, with sappy dark fruit and espresso flavors. The fine, dusty tannins arrive late, giving the rich fruit a chance to expand on the finish. Superb village wine. (ST) (3 2003) 90 points Allen Meadows, Burghound Deeply colored and fragrant with excellent Gevrey
