2000 Ch. Guibot "La Tourvieille" Puisseguin St Emilion

[hotwine]

Went with this one tonight to accompany the leftover BEEF tenderloin D prepared with her sister in Houston over the weekend (their annual antique fair was going on, and neither of those two girls can resist such an event). There's been no change in the Guibot.... Merlot obviously dominating with CS and apparent Cab Franc also present... very soft, uncomplicated, but very tasty with the food (included steamed broccoli and romaine salad with a killer dressing of mayo, EVOO, Worchestershire sauce, S&P, grated parmesan). D & her sis had an '01 Fiefs de Lagrange with theirs in Houston, and seems to have been much better.... she decanted properly. (I stocked the S-I-L's cellar but lack good records on what's there now, so when she called and asked for a wine rec, I simply said "Bordeaux with some whiskers on it." There should be some St Julians from the late 90's, unless they've all been consumed already). Oh well, this worked just fine.
