Tuesday, February 16, 2021 - A great bottle, possibly a sign the wine is getting into its own. Typical Beaucaillou flowers, violets and beautiful feminine richness. Now in its drinking window.

Being a big fan of Beaucaillou it is Interesting to see the wines follow a pretty consistent drinking curve over time. This starts to compare to the 1996 of a couple of years ago. While the 1996 starts to show some more age, still lovely but losing some of its backbone, the 2000 displays good freshness right now. Although both wines ratings at cellar tracker are close, in my book the 2000 is substantially better than the 2003, which I consider somewhat weak for this domaine, lacking weight and complexity.
