2000 Chateau Thebot

I doubt if I'm qualified to be giving out advice since I'm just getting to know some Bordeaux wines, but I think you might be trying to hard to like something that just doesn't float your boat. Why stress out over liking wines from one region when there maybe many other wines that you prefer? From what I gather, Bordeaux does represent several different wine styles with varying grape profiles. My advice would be to sample a good example of each of the varying styles based on the suggestions given by someone whose palatte you trust. And then if you still don't respond to any of those, then just move on to greener pastures (or wine regions, as the case may be). Life's too short, and you could missing out wines you really enjoy. And I hope that's the point of this whole wine obsession! Talk to you later.
