2000 Château Grand Corbin-Despagne

This was the first wine out of 193 different 2000 Bordeaux that arrived on my doorstep in 2003. It was very impressive then and tonight it has been a pleasure to re-visit this little rocket.
Impressive aromatic profile, with cedar, red fruits camphor, minerals. On the palate the wine shows great balance and harmony. It’s drinking perfectly now. My stash has been long ago consumed, and it was a pleasure to see this on a wine menu, I won’t tell you where ;)

My second note on this wine, I am surprised and impressed by the completeness of this wine. Nice initial aromatics upon opening, good viscosity and mouthfeel, still very young and vibrant but no hard edges, will likely improve from here, like most 2000's. would have liked to have purchased more. Completely under the radar, probably a RP sleeper pick, I bought it later and $26 a satisfying bottle of wine.

This wine really knocked us out last night. Wonderful color, and bouquet of toasty oak, deep and rich on the palate with notes of mocha, smoke, black and red fruits, chewy and delicious. Great finish. It will be interesting to see its evolution. From magnum.
