Vintage 2005 / I wanted a comforting wine, so better choose an older one. I wanted a reliable wine, so choose a right bank Bordeaux. I wanted a wine that cheeres me up, so it became Saint Emilion. Lots of red fruit. Well ripened, velvety taste, spicyness. Paired with a Flemish stew and cauliflower gratin. I think this is my last bottle, the best tasted.

A bit bitter. The merlot is very featured.

Young, ripe, grapey, a bit boozy, needs some aging to settle down, good stuff, albeit not outstanding.
