The 2000 Chateau Petit Village does not appear to be evolving as well as I initially hoped. Here, two bottles opened, offering lifted dark cherry intermixed with beef stock and soot, secondary aromas playing a bigger part than I would have expected. The palate is likewise quite rustic but with admirable depth, supple in the mouth with cedar and earthy notes on the foursquare finish. Given the choice of the 2000 or the 2001, I would probably now opt for the latter. Tasted January 2016.
