And a 2001 Chyrseia http://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=34445

I've really liked following the Cakebread so I was sorry to see the last bottle go and had high hopes from the Chryseia but should have drunk young.

Exactly why Serge doesn't.  I've never had Monbousquet so I can't judge for myself, but I can say that I would have loved to be at that vertical tasting.

Very good wine, probably high 80s on a 100 point scale.  Far better than the 80 it was given by WS.  Interestingly, I hear that BV received very low scores from WS for a while due to a spat between the winery and the magazine.  My impression, and the majority of TNs would support this.

Probably naive of me not to expect this and a waste of e-paper to discuss in another thread.  Although, does anyone know if some publications are more biased than others?  Just another reason to use CT before buying instead of a magazine that relies on advertisements from the very wineries they evaluate.

Drinking rather nicely for an every day sip - mostly merlot (60%) of course and at just $16.

Will seek out more, thought its probably not a long time cellar candidate.

Anyonr know the story here?  CT listed a 1997 and then nothing after that.

If I analyse it too much it falls apart but all the bits are there; fruit, structure and tannin bit a little linear. Needs to come together. A little old fashioned for an Aussie these days - a bit in yer face and fruity, not much place or subtlety.

Had a half bottle at L'avenue in Paris along with salad, steak tartar, and marcinelle (sp) cheese. Perfect example of how Bordeaux just belongs with food. Pleasant light fruit and earthy nose though somewhat light. With no food I would have commented that it was either closed or too early. However, with the meal it really opened up. Tannins and tastes of cherries, hints of oak, and full earth just came completely forward with just the right touch of earthiness. I really enjoyed it but wouldn't have absent the meal.
