2000 Chateau Yon-Figeac

My husband brought out that 2000 Yon-Figeac recently when our son, daughter-in-law and new baby James came for a visit. Chateau Yon-Figeac is a right bank Bordeaux located in St. Emillon.
I listened to a Youtube video to learn about Chateau Yon-Figeac. They have 25 acres planted with Cabernet Franc, Merlot and as of 2005, Petit Verdot. They produce 80,000 bottles, initially fermented in stainless steel and then aged in oak.
This wine is now 17 years old. The color was dark purple, I didn't discern much fruit notes, and the wine was very dry and it went well with the vegetarian lasagna.
