Wine Tasting 24: 2000 Chateau Martinens, Margaux, Bordeaux - 02:57

   Chateau Martinens is from the famous commune of Margaux in Bordeaux. It belongs to the Cru Bourgeois class. This wine comes from the 'legendary' 2000 vintage of which outstanding wines were produced from both the left bank and right bank. The wine when poured already gave a garnet colour with a hint of brick. The nose was typical of a more simple Bordeaux wine which has red fruits, red currants, tabacco and with some earthiness and woodiness. This medium body wine was slightly more diluted than what I expected of which politically correct writers / die hard Bordeaux drinkers would call it elegant or even feminine! The fruit level was low but the acidity was high in comparison. The mouth feel was a little thin with some soil and damp earth in the background. The tannin present was also a little coarse so coupling with the acidity gave the wine some astringency. The wine when released had such a hype because Wine Spectator awarded it a whooping 91 points. I failed once again to understand why? Although it does have some structure and sourly red fruit, it just doesn't have the depth and complexity. The finish is medium. Drink it up now. (Rating 86-88 points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.
