Château Magdelaine St Emilion Grand Cru Classé Premier Grand Cru Classé B 2005
Classically balanced, with waves of white truffle, tobacco, cherry pit, wild strawberry, manadarin peel, saffron and rose petals. This has an old school reticence, with silky but fine tannins, in its tertiary phase, studded with notes of undergrowth and spicy cloves. Acidity is marked on the finish, but this still has plenty of life ahead. 50% new oak for ageing, Jean-Claude Berrouet winemaker at this estate located bang on the limestone plateau and slopes of St Emilion.
