2004 Château Mouton Rothschild;
Ruby, cassis, leather, bell peppers, vanilla, tobacco, very complex. Fresh acidity, good balance, nice texture, textbook Mouton, always open and layered it seems. Ripe tannins, velvety and intens, still it feels secretive, it has even more for the future with a very elegant thread of freshness throughout it and beautifull length. 93

01 Montrose

Date: Thu, Sep 23, 2010 Wine Tasting

2001 Château Montrose;
Deep ruby, closed, vanilla, darker fruits, coffee and leather with more air. Never opened up fully, fresh acidity, mouthwatering, high of ripe tannins, elegant and lively, good length. Falling apart after 30 minutes..... Isn't it to kind and caressing for a young Montrose? Next bottle needs to followed throughout an evening, or maybe for two days..... 91 first, 88 after.

Corked Haut Bailly

Date: Thu, Sep 23, 2010 Wine Tasting

2001 Château Haut Bailly;
Corked, tried with plastic in the glass, it took away maybe as much as 90% of the cork aromas, but it was still there in the background even if there was remarkably better fruit. Still, it's not sufficient.
