| $17
Light pale gold color, thin bespeckled legs.
This wine had a pretty explosive nose of lemon, citrus blossom and tropical fruits. This was followed by more of the same when sipped. As the wine warmed a little in my glass, other undertones of kiwi and lime emerged. This was a nice pairing with an impromptu scampi I whipped up.
I'd rate this 89-90 points. | |

| | Thanks for the TN. I thoroughly enjoyed the 2001 version--about the same, qualitywise. Definitely a solid producer. | | | |

| | I've had the 2002 twice and found the two bottles varied greatly. The first I'd give a 92 and the second an 87. | | | |

| | I agree with TJ's notes. The bottle I opened had an explosive nose of citrus fruit, gripping acidity, and a topical nuance. It was much better then a 2001 Martinelli SB. I rated it at 90-91 pts | | | |

| I got the '00 Monbousquet for $75. $109 seems a little high to me, even at this late stage in the game.

| Yes the Monbosquet is rather high (that's why I passed)...for Costco. Down the street from Costco I went into a wine store and here is sticker shock:
00 Latour $499 (they had it at Costco for $299 which I thought was high)
00 Ducru $199
Come on now retailers, what the heck are you thinking. In a down economy raise the prices...yeah that's the ticket. | | | |
