  My favorite of my wine club's recent tasting of 2000 Bordeaux. Beat out the likes of Palmer and Leoville Las Cases. Wonderful forthcoming nose. Cab Franc perhaps a little obvious with it's vegetal character. Drinking at peak and open for business.

  Brambly fruit and strawberries on the nose, with quite a rich attack of the same, very winsome and initially very impressive, but that's it. It never really got out of second gear. Some have bemoaned a certain greenness, but for me, if anything the opposite was true. I could have done with more crispness, a fresher middle section and, well, less jammy flavours. Fine with food, but on its own, it was just not very interesting and a bit stodgy. 92 points for the lovely start.

  Opened and let air in glass. This was in really nice shape, but I sensed it is best to drink between now and 2028/29. We did not decant, and in retrospect it might have been even better if we had.

  Deep red purple color. Initially a little sulfur but this blew off quickly. This proved to be a lovely, complex wine that was well balanced with a long finish. Aromatically there was an early hint of bell peppers followed by mint, black cherries, and Asian spices. The wine was young and energetic. It was consumed in a flight with the 1989 Lynch Bages (which also showed very well), the 2000 Lynch Bages and 2000 La Conseillante. The latter two were complex interesting wines but tight and clearly need more time. The Figeac was the first or second choice of the majority of the tasters in this flight.
