Critic Notes
Deep plum/purple, with a flamboyant perfume of black fruits intermixed with creosote, vanilla, plums, and cherries, the 2000 may not have the concentration of the 2001, but it is sweet, lush, expansive, and a big improvement over previous vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2014. Apr 2003, www.robertparker.com
Score: 89-/100 Robert Parker

A Pomerol Evening with Neal Martin
On Wednesday night we were privileged to have the company of Neal Martin at a small dinner in the private room of the brilliant Chez Bruce. The theme was, of course, Pomerol and Neal’s recently published book on the region. Wine and food first. The aim of the wine selection was to be eclectic rather than simply aiming for the ...
2014: THE F+R PICKS. DUCRU-BEAUCAILLOU
Along with Leoville Lascases, Ducru-Beaucaillou is arguably the best wine of St Julien, producing wines that can often match the first growths in terms of quality, and doing so with some panache. Bruno Borie has performed wonders here since 2003. The vineyard area has been roughly halved – only the best plots, those that surround the chateau, are used for ...
