2000 Château Ducru-Beaucaillou - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Julien (3/10/2007) Tasted at a retail wine tasting. Maybe I'm just not an old world wine kind of guy, or maybe I was just expecting too much from the name and the vintage, but I was a bit underwhelmed by this wine. Stifled nose of lead pencil and potpourri, which reminds me one of those stationary / handicraft stores that my ex used to drag me into; I hated going into those stores. On the palate, black currant, loam earth, leather, and cigar. Much more interesting. Much more, shall we say, muscular? OK -- maybe this was opened way too early. Needs time, a lot of time. Nonetheless, on this occasion, I have to give this wine my best Gallic shrug. (89 pts.)

I hate when ex's and the memorries of them interfere with the fine pleasures of wine tastings ;) I promise, I'll drink my 6 bottles and won't think of your ex and places she dragged you, thanks for a note which wasn't bore to read, mate!
