April 25, 2019 - Probably towards the end of its good tasting window. From a magnum which helped.

April 29, 2017 - Saint Emilion 2000 vintage: 15 years in bottle (Grill Room at the Rosewood): Wine #7 - another wine donated to this tasting via the Association de Grands Crus Classés de Saint-Emilion - proved to be one of those excellent QPRs from the evening. It pleased many a palate, some who had never heard of it, as quite juicy and delicious, if just a tad drying to me on the finish. It came from a magnum bottle. Overall crowd pleasing in its mid-palate juiciness. Several wanted to note the name when I explained that the prices are very competitive, so bravo to charismatic owner Hervé Laviale and thanks for sharing a bottle with us to taste. For those of you who plan to visit Saint Emilion, Laviale has a superb bed and breakfast at the château.

April 19, 2017 - Comprehensive 2000 St Emilion Blind Tasting (The Grill Room at the Rosewood DC): Wine 7 - Medium expressive nose displaying very ripe black fruit, fruitcake, chocolate and earth. Medium concentration, fruitcake driven palate impression, medium acidity, nicely integrated tannins and a medium finish. A bit too ripe for my palate.

December 3, 2016 - Excellent 17 year-old Bordeaux. Solid blood ruby with red legs. Pretty much opaque. Fragrant nose, even rich. Mostly red fruit. Hint of iodine. Tannins pretty much resolved, leaving a smooth, rich, full wine to behold, sleek and chewy at the same time. An excellent value at $50 for a 2000 Bordeaux of this quality. (Wonder how much this was back in the day.) Smashing! 5-12-15-8: 90/100.
