2005 Petit Bocq

[winoweenie]

Had forgotten I'd ordered a box of this exceptional St. Estephe Cru Bourgeous en primur but was surprised by Bob at Vintage wines when he presented it to me. One of the smaller properties at 5 acres and a total production od 1000 cases it also has one of the strangest varietals of any producer there...80% merlot and 20% cabernet. I'd been touted on this by a buddy and am really delighted I was. Absolutely delicious drinking and with enough stuffing to improve for 3-5 and last another 5. Am almost(but not quite) ashamed to post the price (13.50) as this gets a solid P/Q rating of 96. If you see this beauty snatch it as there done' be one whale of a lot imported. WW
