(La Bernadotte) Just a lovely bottle of wine. Dark flowers, cassis and black currants on the nose with some hints of pencil lead and a touch of tree bark and herbaciousness. Ripe and complex with great depth and sappy red/black fruits. Wonderful purity and freshness. Just a great 2000 and a fine QPR.
(Chateau Bernadotte) As I become more and more disinterested in Cabernet Sauvignon I am drinking more of my Bordeaux. This was a nice surpise. Not too overworked and drinking great now. Am happy I have one more bottle. Nose of earth, mineral spice and some red fruit notes. Dusty palate with vibrant acid-tinged 2000 fruit. Not too loong or complex but very satisfying for the 10 seconds it does what it does.
