Kind of fruity, but easy drinking, not super hot — 10 days ago
2000 vintage. Last tasted 9.25.23 (9.2) after 1.5 hours decanted. Popped and decanted this for lunch. Great fill and solid cork. Throwing a bit of sed but less than anticipated. Meh nose. Medium body initially. Started off on the rich side of the ledger but not plush. Had some smoothness afoot. Tasted after 45 mins open, 1.75 hours open and 8 hours open. First two were unspectacular. After lounging in the decanter 8 hours, wine had firmed up, thinned out, picked up plenty of secondary flavors and had that previously missing grip. If you're gonna open this during the holidays or anytime soon, do it very very early...otherwise, it'll be a total waste. Wine has miles to go. No rush to crush but just air it out in advance properly. 10.16.24. — a month ago
Mouton Rothschild on a budget! Dollar for dollar it's truly special. Find me a better wine for $15. — a month ago

Wonderful acidity zips through the mouth. Initial nose is of peaches and moves into elderflowers and white grape jelly. Despite the sweet smell stays dry. Medium-long finish with a rich mouthfeel. — 4 months ago
