  • 2000 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou 94 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Julien

    double decanted 2 hours prior to enjoying
    dark red-black
    quality elegant intense left-bank aroma, with notes of blackberry, earth, spice, truffle, cassis, smoke, blueberry and tobacco
    full bodied, firm solid integrated tannins, excellent acidity level, wonderful harmony, great complexity, waves of pure, sweet, ripe, black cherry and spicy cassis with long, generous finish.

    it was a great relief for me, as the other bottle I shared with my wine-buddies few months ago was flawed...

  • 2000 Château Montrose 94 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Estèphe

    uncorked 2 hours prior to enjoying
    dark purple.
    quality black fruits, dusty/earthy/leathery aromas with notes of blackcurrant and raspberry and cedar hint.
    rich delicate palate of CS fruit with intense blackcurrant & red fruits flavours, light spice, earthy & licorice tones. full bodied, surprisingly already-integrated tannins, still young but already in its best period. Well balanced.
    medium+ finish.

  • 2001 Château Cos d'Estournel 92 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Estèphe

    uncorked 2 hours prior to enjoying
    dark red-purple-black colour
    rich dark fruity aroma of black cherry & blackberry, with notes of graphite and pencil lead.
    full bodied, good acidity level, grip tannins i.e. not yet reached the optimal drinking window.
    excellent structure, great harmony, with medium+ finish.
    should be further aged for 2-3 more years to reach its optimal drinking period, then it'll merit higher score.

the 2001 Cos is still too young.
