Went to the second day of auctions at Sotheby's.
2000 Gruaud-Larose - smoky, meaty, Asian five-spice (五香), soy sauce with black fruits. Full-bodied and lovely.
2000 Ducru-Beaucaillou - green peppers, lead pencil and smoke.
1996 Montrose - first pour was really grassy, sweet, smoked duck, vegetal and brett. For a second I thought it might have been lightly corked. Very concentrated with lots of tannin here. Second pour from a different bottle had no vegetal notes, but was amazingly tannic for a wine this age.
Full post on the auction is here.
