Chateau Lassegue, St Emilion Grand Cru 2005

This tannic, structured, sizeable St.-Emilion exhibits a steely backbone, huge tannins, and equally huge extract. Reserved, weighty, and rich on the palate, it is a good choice for young readers who have the time to wait for it to come into focus and shed some of its tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2030. P.S. This is the St.-Emilion estate of California visionary. Drink from 2014-2030. Published by The Wine Advocate in Apr 2006.
