TN: 2000 Château Bel Air-Marquis d’Aligre, Margaux

Apparently Levenberg and I are on the same drinking schedule. Enjoying yet another 2000 BAMA right now, But check out his wonderful note on Cellartracker from a few days ago.

This is probably the best showing that I have had of this wine, and I’ve probably had anywhere between seven or eight bottles. The wine is so perfectly in the zone right now. Hitting its mature stride and destined to run for a long time. Such a melange of flavors packed into a lithe physique. Blood orange so palpable. Keeps this wine fresh while still displaying mature old world data points.

Really outstanding.
