2000 Chateau Lyonnat Lussac, Saint-Emilion

[wondersofwine]

Purchased 1/2 bottle for $18 at Corduroy Restaurant, Four Points Sheraton Hotel, DC. 12.5% alcohol. Dark, dense purple-red color. A little too woody in flavor--going for an international style? May be a reason that it was inexpensive for a restaurant Bordeaux. However, it improved a little with food (crusty bread, corn soup with a basil oil or essence, rib eye steak with shitake mushrooms and garlic and thyme flavorings, potato croquette.)
Neutral face icon would be better for this one.
