2001 Château La Confession (France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru)

Oh boy...didn't like this much at all. Typical profile for an overblown fruit and oak monster. Can you say espresso, scorched earth, toffee, and caramel? It's sweet and surprisingly flabby with a total lack of freshness and nuance. It's in your face and unless you eat something like spicy barbequed ribs, this is just a total waste to drink. I am seriously considering selling all my wines in this style that I bought when I first got into wine. Monbousquet, Fombrauge, Confession, Beausejour Becot, Pavie Macquin, and the list goes on. Ugh.
