2003 Château Bellevue Mondotte

JUL 16 Deep ruby. Ever wondered what a barrel smells like? Buy one of these (if you can find it, just a few thousand bottles are made every year). Burnt spices, toasted vanilla, liquorice, coffee, dark chocolate nose. Same goes for the palate, overdone in every aspect. Las Vegas wine. 89
