Tasting Notes

From a 62-acre vineyard on the Pomerol border, planted in the sandy, gravelly sector of St.-Emilion, the final blend of this 2005 was 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. A strong effort with lots of black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, some licorice and forest floor, the wine is medium to full-bodied, supple, and impressively endowed. The color is a deep, youthful purple/plum. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Drink 2015-2027.
