Clos Fourtet - 1er GC classé B - 2005 - St-Emilion Grand Cru Les Chapaudaises black currant and cedar aromasRobert Parker's Wine Advocate : Dense ruby purple, with notes of crushed rock, blueberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with some licorice and chocolate, this full bodied, massive wine from proprietor Philippe Cuvelier coincides with the resurrection of this premier grand cru class in St. Emilion. As the wine sits in the glass, notes of espresso roast and chocolate emerge. This full bodied classic should continue to drink well for another 25 years.
