Chateau Leboscq 2005 RED France

The previous vintage won Decanter's Wine of the Year and this one's a 2005! Concentrated old-vine fruit is fermented and aged in oak at the multi award-winning Chateau Leboscq. Classified as a Cru Bourgeois in 1932 the property was bought by Claude Lapalu in 1972. The estate featuring a beautiful 19th century building is in St Christoly Medoc with vines overlooking the Gironde estuary. Winemaker Jean-Michel Lapalu Claude's son produced the stunning 2005 which he aged in top quality Merrain oak barrels - known for lending depth and structure to fine claret without overpowering the fruit. Bright ruby colour with enticing ripe fruit aromas and a subtle hints of clove and vanilla. Good depth of flavour and lovely weight in the mouth. Ripe rounded full of crushed berries and minerals full-body & fine tannins. This complex and expressive claret is gorgeous with Sunday roasts rare fillet steaks or even wild mushroom risotto.
