2005 Château Côte Montpezat

[TheEngineer]

Needs a a couple of hours at this point to come around, simple ripe dark fruits, smokey, solid for the price but more power than elegance. A touch disjointed still. $15, can't ask for more from this.

Better this time, crispy, fresh, crunchy berries. medium body, nicely structured, classic but very clean and focused, perhaps a touch one dimensional.

Opened another one. This was a great deal at $13. Should've bought two cases and worked through them when the bigger wines are slowing coming about. Notes the same as above.
