Tasting notes on Château d'Aiguilhe
- Cotes de Castillon |
1999 Chateau d'Aiguilhe - Côtes de
Castillon, Bordeaux, France
80%
Merlot / 20%
Cabernet
Franc.
100% new casks with 18 months growth.
1999 d'Aiguilhe:
Bright ruby color. The wine looks pretty thick in the glass. Floral and red fruit
nose. Quite
tannic but the fruit
balances well. Nicely done but slightly too alcoholic
in my view. 1999 d'Aiguilhe is a pleasant
rustic and virile wine.
84/100 |

2000 Chateau d'Aiguilhe - Côtes de
Castillon,
Bordeaux, France
80% Merlot - 20%
Cabernet
Sauvignon
The 2000 Chateau d'Aiguilhe appears thick, almost viscous. The
nose is dominated by red fruits. The
texture of the
2000 d'Aiguilhe seems relatively
extracted over the fruit with a tight
structure and a slightly
alcoholic
finish. Surprising to see such a stylistic difference between
2000 d'Aiguilhe and the 2000
Domaine de l'A since both wines were vinified by
the same
winemaker,
Stéphane Derenoncourt! 86/100

2001 Chateau d'Aiguilhe - Côtes de
Castillon,
Bordeaux, France
2007 April - Changing nose switching from red fruits to smoked
wood. 2001 D'Aiguilhe's texture feels hollow between "attack" and
"finish". The fruit seems to have suffered from a lack of maturity.
Harsh tannins and diluted finish. I've had 2001 d'Aiguilhe several
times before but couldn't recognize the wine tonight. Possibly a
flawed bottle?
