Been to Bordeaux 2001 tasting which as it all shows in the title, seven Bordeaux reds from seven different regions (St=Estephe, Pouillac, St. Julian, Margaux, Pessacx-Leognan, St=Emilion, Pomerol), but still vintage with 2001.
2000 is known for great Bordeaux year while 2001 is 'cute' according to the organiser of this tasting event.
- Chateau Picard (St=Estephe),
- Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste (Pauillac)
- Sarget de Gruaud-Larose (St. Julian)
- Chateau d'Angludet (Margaux)
- Chateau Haut-Bailly (Pessacx-Leognan)
- Chateau Belair (St=Emilion)
- Chateau Rouget (Pomerol)
We did blind at the beginning and I only did correct for 1, 4 and 5 ;)
1 is a cheap option (retail price at GBP14.99) and that's why it has been easily recognised, I would have to say it is not worth buying...2,5,6 are wines that I would choose as good wines, while my favourite is still Margaux as a region.
Among those 7 is extraordinary different, with strong mushroom, leather, animal like nose that nobody has raised hand as a favourite (as well as 1);)
