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!

@Delectable Wine this is the 2016 Radix Wines Dexter Scootney Flats Vineyard from up on Red Mountain. Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.
Deep purplish red. Rich and enticing nose coated dark chocolate, crushed tobacco leaves, black cherries, cinnamon and dried spices. Medium plus body with medium plus tannins (6.5/10). Lush red fruit on the palate with layers of black currants, cherry liqueur, baking spices, and volcanic gravel. Medium length finish. Drink till 2026. — 7 years ago

Popped and poured while I prep dinner. Nice medley of red and dark fruit, with bitter tobacco leaf and soil. Well balanced, juicy and chewy and very good.
