2000 Château La Conseillante

I don’t usually write reviews. I understand wines can disappoint for so many reasons. That’s part of the game we are all playing in buying Bordeaux futures or any wine, for that matter. We all paid a ridiculous amount of money for this wine. It has a marvelous pedigree. This wine has been impeccably cellared since I received it on release.
But here we are, 23 years on, with the most mundane wine. It could be mistaken for a $30 California cab from Central Valley. Yes, upon opening it was exciting, complex nose, decent length although very soft tannins and mature fruit. One decanted hour later, totally dead. The wine showed nothing. Wine Cellar is showing this wine as drinkable far into the future. Not possible. Consume ASAP, or at least consume immediately upon opening.

Bought two cases en primeur and have been drinking it over the years. Definitely in death throes at this point. Originally decent for $8 although at least one half of the bottles have been flawed by various degrees of TCA taint. The 2 bottles left in cellar are allocated for cooking which is how the last few bottles have been consumed
