Robert Parker writes, "The dense ruby/purple-colored 2000 Vecina offers up aromas of loamy earth, black fruits, chocolate, and toasty wood. I would not call it superficial, but it is no match for its younger sibling. Medium-bodied, with beautiful fruit, excellent purity, and a long, complex finish, it will drink well for 10-13 years." RP Published Dec 2003 Antonio Galloni writes for Vinous, "Another inflection point in this tasting appears with the 2000 Vecina, the first wine in this vintage that is mature. That said, the 2000 has also aged gracefully. Sweet tobacco, dried herbs, dried cherry, menthol and cedar give the wine its distinctive lifted aromatics. Soft and caressing in feel, the 2000 is probably best enjoyed over the next handful of years. Although not the most demonstrative or typical Vecina, the 2000 is very, very pretty."
