Vieux Chateau des Templiers 2000

Vieux Chateau des Templiers 2000 ($45, SKU 776351) This is one of the 2000 Bordeaux wines that the LDB put out recently. I tasted it with dinner last week and found it to be an enjoyable wine. It is from Pomerol, the right bank, so it is a Merlot based wine. It has good nose when opened and needs a quick decanting. The body is medium to full with enough sweetness to please the new drinkers. At $45 it is not cheap but this is, after all, a 2000 Bordeaux. I would recommend this with any red meat dish. There is very little stock in Vancouver but it can be ordered from the other stores.
