CHATEAU LE BON PASTEUR 2000 POMEROL

This has a mouthwatering core of raspberry confiture that keeps pumping along, while notes of anise, fruitcake and singed apple wood nestle in on the finish. Still nearly primal in the display of fruit, this relies heavily on that one aspect, eschewing range for outright hedonism, but does so very, very well. WINE SPECTATOR 93 POINTS
