2005 Chateau Destieux St. Emilion

[andrawes76]

Yes, I know I popped this one way too early, but I can tell you for 05 Bordeaux in solid performance, this one is a pretty darned good value. St. Emilion style (66% merlot, the rest split between cab and cab franc). Bold fruit on the nose with raspberry, dark chocolate, tar, tobacco and some fleshy tannins that paired well with the filet mignon. A nice dense wine with no doubt an interesting future. Priced around $40-45 per bottle. A solid 91-93.

I love this producer, especially a few years ago when the 2000's were on sale for about $25 a bottle [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]. Ahhh.. the old days [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img]
