2005 Domaine Truchot-Martin Morey St. Denis 1er Cru Clos Sorbes - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Morey St. Denis 1er Cru (3/27/2008)
This wine is very atypical for 2005, but that's no great surprise since it says Truchot on the label. On opening it shows lots of fruit, bordering on actual grapiness, with the structural elements hidden in the background. Eventually the acidity and some tannin enter the picture, but overall this wine is much mroe approachable than I expected. It's delicious, and also very well balanced - almost seamless. A wonderful way for Truchot to exit the stage, providing us with fine wine to drink over the next 20 or so years.
