Bolaire Bordeaux Superiore 2005
|
An amazing percentage of Petit Verdot (39%), combined with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon has resulted in one of the more distinctive wines of Bordeaux. There are 2,000 cases of this dense ruby/purple-colored effort. It exhibits wonderful aromas of charcoal, incense, black currant liqueur, and licorice. Medium-bodied with stunning depth, richness, and texture, this sleeper of the vintage is a terrific buy. It should drink well for 10 years.

Aromas of licorice, blackberry and chocolate follow through to a full body, with soft tannins and a coffee bean, espresso and ripe fruit aftertaste. Best after 2010. 2,300 cases made. –JS
