Ch.Bel-Air Marquis D'Aligre 2005 750ml

Jancisrobinson.com, Sep 13, 2017
Rich, shaded, brownish ruby. Deeper colour than older vintages but very similar hue. Hint of iodine on the nose. Dry finish. The mark of the vintage with the tannins but broader and more diffuse than typical 2005 red bordeaux. Quite brawny and a bit ungainly for the moment. Medicinal notes on the nose. All potential rather than actual, initially, but it positively blossomed in the glass. Bravo! I initially suggested opening it in 2020 but with aeration it could already be enjoyed.
