Chateau Cote de Baleau, St. Emillion Grand Cru, 2000

Well, not bad.   Yet again, I think that the wine doesn't have enough of an aging potential.  It is very pleasant and drinkable.  Fruit, mostly blackberry, is still there.  It has a nice structure: "wet dog" on the nose with leather and tobacco notes.  If you can find it at around $20 it is worth it yet don't spent more than that, not really worth it. I would try 2005 vintage.
