Well... a slow week...

Friday night... 2000 Chateau St. Jean Cinq Cepages - Now I like lettuce. A lot. But I don't like cabbage in my wine! While there was a long finish, it is nothing like the 1999, 2001, 1997, 1996, etc. Very green, stemmy, and full of anise. On the other hand, the 1999 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti Grands Echezeaux was out of this world... still tight and closed, this wine took a full 3 hours to even start showing it's stuff. Sweet strawberries, red plums, and currants, along with meat, pepper, and turned earth. A long... long... long finish for this wine. Keep it for another 5 years and open it then...
