Chateau Roland La Garde, Cotes de Blaye,2000

This is a sad story...  I actually liked this wine, yet it clearly failed a test of time.  2000 vintage is most definitely past its prime.  The wine taste pretty flat iwth no fruit left. I, however, believe that something like 2005 vintage should be quite nice: Full body muscular with a lot of blackberry and firm tannins to support it.  It should be a nice food wine to pair up with beef and lamb.  Don't expect to be wow-ed though....It should be around $13-14.
