Château La Fleur Blanchon, Lussac-Saint Emilion, Bordeaux, France 2005

80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Merlot-rich, this wine boasts ripe blackberry and liquorice fruit with velvet tannins and a long, mocha-scented finish. Sumptuous, elegant Saint-Emilion from the vintage of a lifetime. Saint Emilion wines are considered the most robust of Bordeaux. They are generous, deeply colored, and reach their maturity quicker than other red Bordeaux.
