2000 Chateau Tour d'Auron

[Tsuku]

Innkeeper is right on. You are lucky to have found a 2000 bottle as I have been searching for weeks. It does have the cherry and chocolate on the nose and a great tannin feeling after the first taste which mellows out just like a Premier Cru. The 2001 is somewhat lighter but the only difference is that it probably won't last as long as the 2000 which I estimate at 10-15 years. The price is right and grab it if you can. It's a wonderful wine with my score of 91.
It was served with tenderloin of pork annointed with a cranberry sauce, sauted plaintain, fresh green beans and a delightful mixed-greens salad topped with cranberry vinagrette.
