The opaque purple-colored 2000 Chaos, a blend of 50% Montepulciano, 25% Merlot, and 25% Syrah aged in 100% new French oak, exhibits a big, impressive nose of licorice, new wood, black currants, and espresso. Although internationally-styled, it is impressively deep, concentrated, and intense. If a more singular character emerges, it will merit an even higher score.
