Chateau Jean De Gue Prestige Bordeaux 2000
Lalande de Pomerol Bordeaux 2nd wine of Chateau des Moines A dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by a big, sweet perfume of figs, black currants, cherry jam, licorice, vanilla and caramel. The wine has great fruit, opulent texture, medium to full body, and a totally seductive, fleshy mouthfeel. Drink it over the next 8-9 years. It is a sleeper of the vintage. - Rated 90, Robert Parker
Chateau La Tour Mallet 2000 - Bordeaux
Pomerol, Bordeaux High tannin and aggressive new oak may be troublesome in this otherwise spicy, dense, muscular, concentrated 2000. While there are abundant quantities of earthy, smoky, black cherry, and mocha notes (characteristic of ripe Merlot) as well as serious substance, this wine's future is not a sure bet. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2016. - Rated 87-88, Robert Parker Wonderful aromas of coffee, berry, cherry and tobacco character. Full-bodied, with lovely caressing, silky tannins and a medium finish. A bit short, but very good. Best after 2006. –JS - Rated 89, Wine Spectator
Chateau la Croix St Georges 2003 -Bordeaux
Pomerol, Bordeaux This serious property is run by young Jean-Philippe Janoueix. Although the 2003 is not up to the standards of the 2004, 2001, or 2000, this dark ruby/purple-tinged effort offers spicy, herbal characteristics interwoven with notions of new oak, white chocolate, and cherries. Medium-bodied, narrowly constructed, and moderately tannic, it will drink well for 7-8 years. - Rated 88, Robert Parker Soft and balanced with medium body and a delicious plummy, berry aftertaste. Medium tannins. –JS - Rated 85-88, Wine Spectator
Chateau Franc Maillet Cuvee Jean Baptist 2003 -Bordeaux
Pomerol, Bordeaux A strong effort from a relatively cool Pomerol terroir, this medium-bodied, low acid 2003 possesses a dark ruby/purple color, sweet aromas of black fruits, resin, and toasty new oak, and plenty of tannin. As it sits in the glass, mineral and new oak notes also emerge. Give it 3-4 years of cellaring, and drink it over the next decade. - Rated 87-90, Robert Parker Blackberry and chocolate aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate, with fine tannins. This is a balanced and elegant Pomerol. Drink now. –JS - Rated 87, Wine Spectator
Chateau Haut Chagneau 2000 - Bordeaux
Lalande de Pomerol Bordeaux The excellent, deep ruby- colored 2000 exhibits plum, currant, herb, and black cherry aromas as well as flavors. Drink this ripe, medium-bodied, well-made Lalande de Pomerol over the next 5-7 years. - Rated 88, Robert Parker Pretty floral and berry aromas follow through to medium-bodied palate, with medium, round tannins and a fruity finish. Refined red. Very nice indeed. Best after 2005. 5,800 cases made. -JS - Rated 88, Wine Spectator
