BELLEFONT BELCIER 05 ST EMIL
ROBERT PARKER 94 POINTS - "A marvelous sleeper of the vintage from Dominique Hebrard, the son of Cheval Blanc’s former general manager, Jacques Hebrard, and his impressive 2005 is the finest wine I have yet tasted from Bellefont-Belcier. This 2005 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color, a smoky, blackberry liqueur-filled nose with hints of licorice, earth, and truffles, full body, powerful flavors, and dramatic, but sweet tannin. Moreover, this beauty is still available at a realistic price." Anticipated maturity: 2012-2030.
