Tertre Daugay 2000 - http://www.kosherwino.com/index.php/2011/03/06/chateau-tertre-daugay-2000/.

Labegorce 2001 - Don't have a tasting note, but when I drank it over a year ago the bottle I had was going downhill.

Happy Chanuka!

Chateau Labegorce Lede Margaux 2001: A-
When we opened this wine at night, it was the loser for sure. Thin, no life, and almost scary. Well what a resurrection it made the next day! It had opened. The wine was still a bit mature looking, but the mouth had opened and the nose was alive. It screamed of red fruits; cherry, raspberry, red plums. The mouth was nice and long. Lean and balanced, yet enough bite left. A real nice wine and the actual winner of the day. (tasted in 2009 - no later notes)

Chateau Labegorce, Margaux, 2001(Kosher Edition): Medium bodied, with soft, barely felt tannins and a few berry and plum fruits on an earthy-herbaceous background. Lacking length but a good quaffer and at its best with food. Drink now-2008. K (Re-tasted 21 May 2005) Rogov thought it dead by 08/09

Thanks guys. I had never even heard of Patache d'Aux. Anybody?

[Jon Tabak]

Did some more digging. Had both 2004 Chateau Montviel and 2001 Chateau Labegorce in 2009. I wasn't taking detailed notes, but my sparse comments were positive for the Montviel but neutral for the Labegorce. I know that I've had the Patache d'Aux but I can't find my notes. Is the it the one with the stagecoach on the label?
