Château La Gomerie--Vintage 2005
Saint-Emilion, grand cru
In original wooden cases
Tasting note: As usual, La Gomeries 2005 is a sexy, dense plum/purple-tinged effort. From a 7-acre, 32-year old site planted with 100 Merlot, it exhibits a sumptuous bouquet of white chocolate, roasted coffee, blackberries, black cherries, graphite, and toasty oak. This is a modern-styled, decadently rich St.-Emilion, but because of the vintages higher acidity and more tannic structure, this offering possesses a more classic framework than usual. A sensational wine, it should be drinkable in 3-4 years, and age beautifully for 15-20. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 176, April 2008
