87 Points

Friday, February 18, 2005 - Had the Leoville Las Cases of the same vintage last weekend and it was spectacular; rivaling the 96 Margaux for the best (96 Bordeaux) wine of the day. This wine however, was not at all similar. Ruby red, with perhaps a very slight beginning of orange on the edge. Restrained but pleasant nose. Light red fruits (shut down?) with a hint of cocoa. Though it's been probably a year, I remember a similar disappointment with the 2000? Do I just not get this wine and its solid reputation or is my timing off?
