- 2000 Clos l'Eglise (Côtes de Castillon) - France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Côtes de Castillon (5/21/2010)
This has been a very nice wine a and good bargain. Right out of the bottle it is a little funky and musty. At first I worried about TCA but all was fine once some more air got on the wine. With time it really came around and was enjoyable. Same goes for the palate. Early on there was a black olive thing in the middle that I didn't like. After getting in the decanter the wine really came around and the fruit brightened up. A good amount of leather is represented here. A very nice middle aged Bordeaux. Another 5 years should not be a problem. If drinking now I would decant for 60 minutes. (91 pts.)
Cheers,
Jason
