2005 Chateau Faizeau Selection Vieilles Vignes Montagne-St. Emilion (750ml)

"90 out of 100 - Possibly the finest Faizeau made to date, this sleeper of the vintage reveals a deep ruby/purple color along with a lovely nose of kirsch, licorice, and pain grille. Full-bodied, ripe, and seamless with excellent harmony among its component parts, it hit 14.5% natural alcohol and is made from 100% Merlot. This extravagant, flamboyant effort should drink well for a decade." - Robert M. Parker, Jr., Wine Advocate
