LA FLEUR DE BOUARD - 2005

Lalande-de-Pomerol. 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon with 14% alcohol.

TASTING NOTES:

Seductive aromas. Tannic, oaky, sleek. Rich black fruit of plums, blackberries, black currant, creme-de-cassis, licorice. Distinctive Pomerol smoked earth.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

91 PTS
I love good Pomerol wines and this wine seems to deliver year after year. 2005 is a great vintage and this one pops dynamically in the glass.  Getting up there in price near $40 although this was a steal on futures when acquired.
