2001 Chateau Joanin Becot Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux (750ml) [SLC]

"87 out of 100 - Deep red. Aromas of roasted plum, coffee and burnished oak. Offers good breadth and stuffing, but the dark berry, licorice and herbal flavors are a bit dry and green. Finishes with peppery, dusty tannins and a slight tart edge. Still, I find this more pliant than the 2002. - Stephen Tanzer, vinous.com
