WTN: 2005 Ch. Beauséjour-Duffau-Lagarrosse

Vive La France. Bordeaux 2005 est arrivé........


2005 Ch. Beauséjour-Duffau-Lagarrosse, St. Emilion, Bordeaux, France
A beauty! Medium to full-bodied with strong&grip tannins and flavors of blackberry, black cherry, earthiness and a touch of black chocolate. Fedor is right, it is not a monster wine or as massive like some other modern wines from St. Emilion these days. Here we have a more classic style with a certain kind of freshness which suits my palate more and this style is also more food-friendly. Gorgeous length and with a hedonistic, sexy appeal. Great potential for the coming years! Mr. Parker rated this wine 91pts. (WA 176) and interestingly at the beginning 94-96pts. (WA 164), Michael Bettane 18pts. and James Suckling/WS 92-94pts. Drinking window 2015-2035.
93+pts.

thanks. While I mostly concentrated on the low-end for '05, this was one of my few midlevel buys. Sounds like I'll be happy.

Thanks for the note. My only 2005 futures purchase (though I'm still waiting on delivery)
