Chateau Haut-Bergey Pessac-Leognan 2005 PURYEARSALE A wine to drink now

A wine to drink now or cellar for many years

it is doing the thing that makes aged Bordeaux worth the wait: the fruit has folded into tobacco

off-dry Mosel Riesling in its most classical and ageworthy form

Chateau Haut-Bergey Pessac-Leognan 2005 PURYEARSALE A wine to drink nowNearly two decades of graceful aging have softened this 2005 Graves blend into a refined expression of southern Mdoc terroir. Forest floor, wet stone, and charcoal frame deep currents of blackcurrant and cherry, while the palate reveals remarkable brightness and focus with dried cherries, orange peel, and mineral precision. Full bodied yet harmonious, with sweet tannins and opulent depth.
