Pauillac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France
SPEC TA CU LAR! Here you feel the absolute majesty of a wine who can be promoted to at least 2nd growth. Cedar, camphor, eucalyptus, butterscotch/4 spices, yellow curry. I’ve always loved ‘00 in Pauillac has I think it’s the last great of the classic style. Definitely this bottling is a keeper.

Lovely poised fruit. Dark brooding iron and bloody blue fruit. A bit of violet and black cherry. Supple and attractive right now.

Mar 31st, 2023Cool and poised on the nose. Graphite, dark fruit, meatiness. On the palate this is resolved and smooth. Very rich but for the first time really integrated. Iron, dark fruit, cedar notes. salinity. Delicious and classy

Classic for era/time period. Wines are arguably a step up in more recent vintages with Bio farming and all the additional knowledge and experience time provides.

Thanks, Roseann for this and the tab at Joe’s, our fave restaurant. This was what you want and expect in a fine, mature, vintage Bdx. Elegant and subtle while being mouth filling with rich, complex flavors.

Bright nose, jumps out of the glass, fresh. Balanced with a long finish, fine integrated tannins, not a deep dark wine, but lively and delicate

Deep garnet color. Herbal nose of sage, green pepper and lead pencil backed up by sour cherries and dark fruit. Soft and plush palate, with the fruit shining through but ending with a more herbal and leathery finish. Hold.

Big nose of blackberry, black raspberries and cedar, on the palate lots of stewed black fruits, just a bit of earth and well structured tannins
