First pour had teeth; it needed 2 hours to calm down, and probably would benefit from several more hours. Astringent and bitter up front, with blackberry, sour cherry, licorice, stone, and orange peel. Will adjust my note on day 2.

58/42 Graves Blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Beautiful golden color. Aromas of bold citrus fruits, apricots and white flowers. Bright lemon on the pallet. Creamy finish that has a touch of grass/mint. Fresh and well balanced. — 3 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!
