Château Rochebelle St Emilion Grand Cru Grand Cru Classé 2005
Richly nuanced aromatics at 16 years old. As it opens, sweet tobacco, saffron, liqourice bud come to the fore, with savoury rather that sweet blackberry fruits, extremely well balanced, walking a tightrope between young and older fruit. Classic and old school in the best way, extremely drinkable with a gorgeous fresh touch and saline twist on the finish. One to recommend. 70% new oak. A wine that begs to be drunk with food.
