This is a lovely little burgundy. Subtle and earthy black cherry notes and gentle on the palette for such a young wine. I’m a novice, but can it be I tasted a mild citris at its finish?

2000 Chateau Latour-Martillac Grand Cru Classe De Graves
Yesterday, I pulled this Grand Vin de Bordeaux from the cellar to enjoy with our Sunday lunch.
I almost always worry, just a little, that a wine might not have matured well, however, as it turned out I had no reason to be concerned.
Although this wine can be cellared for many more years, it is aging nicely.
Pouring the first glass, I took in the robust, earthy, leathery aroma. Perfect while I sat outside watching the orange leaves fall from the trees. The wine is smooth, with medium berry notes and delicate tannins in its finish. Well worth the wait.
2003 Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf du Pape
2006 Henschke “Henry’s Seven”
This complex wine from the Barossa Valley, Australia, throws me into a panic when I go below six bottles of it in the cellar!
66% Shiraz
19% Grenache
8% Mourvedre
7% Viognier
This wine is silky smooth. Your palate will be surrounded by subtle bursts of rasberries and earth. There is a hint of vanilla and spices in the aroma.
Great alone or with Indian food!
