Monday, April 10, 2006 - BORDEAUX 2005 / Cabernet rules; 4/5/2006-4/10/2006 (Bordeaux): A beautiful nose, spicy, cedar, with a concentrated yet also racy palate and lingering finish. A lovely Pauillac, made from vines averaging 50 years (no green harvesting in 2005) and made under the direction of my host at this morning’s tasting, Monsieur Polaert, who came from Lynch Bages to work at Clerc Millon in 2002. Lots of Merlot, but very flattering in its mid-level alcohol-level (13.1%) expression: 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmanere! One of the Pauillacs of the vintage: 92-95
