Château Petit-Village Pomerol 2005

Owned by AXA Millésimes at the time, exuding soft black cherry and raspberry fruits, smooth tannins, saline-streaked on the finish, totally delicous. Fresh acidities, again that mandarin peel edge that I am getting on so many of the 2005s, where the fresh acidities of the year come across as fresh orange rind rather than mint leaf, reflecting the ripeness of the fruit tempered by freshness and balance. Tobacco and gentle tannins, easy to recommend, at a great moment for drinking. 70% new oak.
