Chateau D’Arche 2005 Cru Bourgeois Superieur From Haut-Medoc, France


This Bordeaux is one of the best red wines that I’ve ever had. At seven years old, the wine is a surprisingly deep red (I was expecting a rustier color) and is pure pleasure on the nose. It’s an extraordinarily well-balanced wine and is delightful from first sip until minutes after. The wine is fruitier than other Bordeaux’s (which are often earthy) and it has moderate but pleasant tannins that linger on the palate for some time after drinking. Pay up to $50 for this bottle.

Paid: $24.95 at Sherry-Lehmann

P.S. The label has a picture of a dove, holding an olive branch flying over an ark.
