2000 Chateau Bel Air Haut-Medoc
Thursday, February 22, 2007
It was that time again, time to open another 2000 Bordeaux from the cellar. This time around I pulled out a $14 Chateau Bel Air from the Haut-Medoc region. Its a pretty good bottle, you have a great nose, some dark plum color and a deep and lasting flavor. You can taste the oak and some vanilla but also a bit of tannins and some black currant. With it being on the Left Bank, you have more cabernet than merlot in the blend which is what I prefer. It does have a bit of a backbone with some spice and earth and with it going on 7 years the harsh bitterness has faded some.
