One of the strongest efforts I have ever tasted from Alain Vauthier, his small St.-Emilion estate, Moulin Saint-Georges, has turned in a gorgeous 2005 with an opaque purple color and a sweet nose of blueberry and black raspberry fruit along with spring flowers. Rich, full-bodied, and still moderately tannic, this is a wonderful sleeper of the vintage and a wine capable of further evolution for at least another 10-15+ years. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Deep dark ruby in color. Superconcentrated aromas of crushed blackberry black licorice espresso and leather follow through to a full body with ultrafine tannins and loads of coffee and fruit flavors. Very long. Best after 2016. 2500 cases made. -JS
