美味しいワインと出会う旅

シャトー・バタイエ［2005］Ch.Batailley【あす楽対応_関東】【あす楽対応_東海】【あす楽対応_近畿】【あす楽対応_中国】【あす楽対応_四国】【あす楽対応_九州】

赤は2000年のヴィンテージです。両方とも15時に抜栓してダブル・デキャンタしたそうです。一回デキャンタして、瓶に戻してあります。飲みはじめたのは20時前後です。

先ずはバタイエです。

実に旨い！！

最高の飲み頃ですね。

ポイヤック特有の杉の香り、カシスより濃いプラムの香り、少し焼けた様ななめし革、茸、バニラやチョコレートの香りも抜けて実に大人の香りです。

味わいも本当にバランスがよく、舌触りも滑らかです。余分なタンニンが落ちて、濃厚な果実感が全面に出て来ています。酸も綺麗で牛頬肉の力強さを受け止めます。

これだけ美味しいバタイエを飲むのは初めてです。

パーカーさんの88点は・・・・90点は付けても良い様に思いますが・・・・・

2000 Batailley

Wine Advocate #189　　Jun 2010

Robert Parker　88　　Drink: 2010 - 2018　　$55-$100

 Black currant, licorice, damp earth, moss, and fresh porcini mushroom characteristics emerge from this dark plum/ruby-colored Pauillac. It is not as strong, powerful, or deep as more recent vintages of Batailley, with noticeable, but not excessive tannin as well as medium body. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

Wine Advocate #146　Apr 2003

Robert Parker　86　Drink: 2008 - 2020　$55-$100 (22)

 Dark plum/garnet in color, this wine is tight, hard, closed down, and difficult to penetrate. Neither complicated nor flashy, it reveals good weight and fine ripeness, but the finish seems abrupt, and the wine largely austere and unimpressive. Hopefully, more will emerge with cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020.

Wine Advocate #139　Feb 2002

Robert Parker　(87-88)　Drink: 2008 - 2020　$55-$100 (22)

 Always a tight-fisted, traditionally-styled Pauillac that performs better at ten years of age, the 2000 Batailley reveals a dark ruby color along with sweet black currant fruit presented in an uncomplicated, medium-bodied, firmly tannic, well-delineated style. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2020.

Wine Advocate #134　Apr 2001

Robert Parker　(87-88)　Drink: 2007 - 2018　$55-$100

 This traditionally-styled Pauillac never performs as well young as it does at 10-12 years of age. The deep ruby/purple-colored, restrained 2000 Batailley offers scents of minerals, underbrush, and black currants, and a structured, medium-bodied, moderately long finish. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2018. The French would say this wine is intended for the "gout anglais."

フランス産・ボルドー赤ワインシャトー・コス・デストゥルネル2000【Chateau Cos d’Estournel2000】

続いてコスの2000年・・・・

予想通り閉じています。

5時間前のダブル・デキャンタも無力でした。

きっと明日飲むと美味しいと思います。

インキーでタンニンが果実を覆い隠しています。

濃いのは良いのですが、固いです。

まあ偉大な年の欠点と言うか・・・後15年後位に飲んでみたいですね。ただリリース直後は美味しかったのだと思いますよ。買って直ぐに果実が輝いている時に飲むか、20年後、30年後に飲むか・・・と言う事で偉大な年は個人的には買わない事にしています。

2000 Cos d'Estournel

Wine Advocate #189　Jun 2010

Robert Parker　91　Drink: 2010 - 2025　$145-$338

 Showing some lightening at the edges as well as some amber, this is the least impressive of the greatest vintages for Cos d'Estournel between 2000 and 2009. It is an outstanding wine, but it is closer to maturity and lacking the concentration, texture, and overall compelling aromatics of more recent vintages. The wine displays roasted herbs intermixed with licorice, incense, black cherry, and black currant fruit. Medium-bodied, rather than full, elegant, with some spicy tannins and a nice sweet finish, compared to the other top classified growths, this wine is on a much faster evolutionary track and can be drunk now and over the next 15 or more years.

Wine Advocate #146　Apr 2003

Robert Parker　92　Drink: 2010 - 2022　　$145-$338 (67)

 This wine puts on weight and grows in stature every time I go back to it. In fact, from the bottle it was better than ever. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2000 Cos d'Estournel suffers only in comparison with its successor, the 2001. Deep bluish purple in color with a reticent but emerging bouquet of cedar, licorice, blueberry, cassis, vanilla, and lead pencil shavings, this medium-bodied, slightly sinewy Cos d'Estournel has relatively high tannin, an excellent mid-palate, and a persistent finish. Purity and classicism are hallmarks of this top-flight wine. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2022.

Wine Advocate #139　Feb 2002　

 Robert Parker　(90-92)　Drink: 2006 - 2025　$145-$338 (67)

 This wine has put on weight, thrown off the subtle herbaceous notes detectable last year, and fleshed out its mid-palate. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot, and 2% Cabernet Franc, it exhibits an inky ruby/purple color, a luscious perfume of blackberries, cassis, licorice, spice, and toasty oak, medium to full body, a beautiful texture, a concentrated mid-palate, sweet tannin, and a long, elegant, refined finish. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025.

Wine Advocate #134　Apr 2001

Robert Parker　(88-91)　Drink: 2007 - 2020　$145-$338

 Jean-Guillaume Prats was not sure whether or not a small lot of Cabernet Franc would be added to the blend I tasted. Made from yields of 40-42 hectoliters per hectare, it presently is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot. A dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by scents of green peppers, spice, cedar, and minerals. The aromatics suggest considerable complexity as this wine ages, but the austere, earthy, tannic, compressed style is not for everybody. Medium-bodied and beautifully pure, this 2000 may always remain somewhat on the tough side because of an austere, abundantly tannic finish. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020.
