2000 Chateau Tour d'Auron

[Innkeeper]

2000 Chateau Tour d'Auron, Bordeaux Superieur ($10 Blue Hill Wine Shop). Alcohol: The proverbial 12.5%. Loads of cassis and chocolate on the nose and upfront. More gobs of ripe black fruit along with a healthy dose of dirt, and very smooth tannin across the palate. And, a very nice finish. Matched with broiled fillet steak in bacon rasher with EVOO and Morton rub. Accompanied by salad in raspberry/hazelnut vinaigrette. Just great.

Too bad, we only had one.
