1/17/2003 - Vino Me wrote: 93 pointsUnion des Grand Crus de Bordeaux (2000 Vintage) (Intercontinental Hotel Chicago): Blackish red in color with wide slow legs. Aromas of black coffee and mushroom filled the glass. This was a well integrated wine with notes of plum, spice box and fresh herbs. Medium bodied with a very nice soft finish. 93 points. |

There is a perfumy nose with subtle but not complex charms. However, there is an astringency in the background that still needs to resolve. All in all, a very respectable wine from a relatively minor chateau. We look forward to drinking the 82 Pontet-Canet from the same Proprietaire for stylistic comparison. |

Green pepper/vegetal streak running right down the middle -- becoming more harsh as the wine sat in the glass. Well integrated tannins; probably should drink up before the fruit fades. |
