Twenty-five years of patience is the one thing you can't buy for a young Bordeaux. This 2000 from Château Beau-Séjour Bécot has already done the waiting for you. It's a dry red Bordeaux blend from a vintage most of us would never have had the discipline to leave alone this long. A bottle like this is about what time does to a serious red, so treat it as an occasion wine rather than a Tuesday-night pour. Stand it upright for a day before opening, decant it gently to leave any sediment behind, and serve it with the meal so it has room to open up in the glass.

Flatiron's Take

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Roast leg of lamb with garlic and rosemary; duck confit with sautéed potatoes; beef tenderloin with a wild-mushroom sauce; aged Comté or Mimolette after dinner.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Merlot-led Saint-Émilion profile: plum, black cherry and cassis, with Cabernet Franc adding a fragrant, slightly leafy lift and Cabernet Sauvignon giving structure. With long bottle age, a serious red like this typically moves toward cedar, tobacco, earth and dried fruit. The tannins soften to a silky texture and the finish is long and savoury.
