2000 Ch Bernadotte

[winoweenie]

Under the guidance of May-Elaine de Lencquesaing of the venerable super-second Pichon Lalande since 1996 this Haut Medoc property has made some great changes. The 00 is by far the best I've had from this property. Deep ruby. Reluctant nose but afeter an hour in the glass gave loads of brite red fruits, earth, sweet spices, and a dose of bakers cocoa. All came across on the palate. Smooth entry, solid center and a 4-lapper finish that was cut off by soft tannins. This honker needs another 4-6 to really show off. Potentially great juice. 90/96. 15 on futures.13% alc. WW
