Classic profile for the blend. Smooth finish. Went well with all courses of a very special meal. — 6 years ago
Birth year wine.
"Looks like a tricky one"... if I had a dollar for every time I heard that.
This is Chateau Latour Martillac, Graves, 1975.
This wine is slightly over the hill, but has survived 50 years. Just like me.
I'm assuming this is Cabernet, Merlot, and maybe something else. Fine, pale brick color. The nose is lively and generous with fruit, though there is a bit of grandma's basement.
The palette is driven by tertiary flavors. Mushroom, truffle, wet leaves, and pencil tend to drown out a bit of dark cherry. A little astringent. Maybe some Petit Verdot.
I wouldn't kick this out of bed for eating crackers, but I would prefer it with some lamb.
Hope you all are having an awesome Sunday!

Toasty, but integrated, softens with air. Roses meet dark forest berries, blackcurrant, mocha, and tobacco. Fresh, juicy with balanced tannin and linear acidity. Touch of heat but the finish builds. Opened with time in the glass. Will age 5+ years. Second label. — 7 years ago
