purer vintage from an integrity perspective

with a slight grain to the texture and a smoky sub-note that lingers on the finish

Rouget Pomerol - 2005 (750ml) 1980 full-bodied personalitiesThe Burgundy firm of Jacques Prieur, who now owns this Pomerol estate, has fashioned an outstanding 2005 from one of the less prestigious terroirs of the appellation. It is a richly fruit, exuberant, flamboyant wine offering a sensual display of black cherries, sandy, loamy soil, subtle herbs, and spice. Lusciously textured with no astringency, it can be consumed now and over the next 10 12 years. Robert Parker 90 points
