2005 Ch. St. Jean de Lavaud [1.1] Lalande de Pomerol ***

Plum purple. Raspberry leaf, musk, and lush flowers on the nose. Good burnt wood note, black licorice, strawberry and raspberry jam. Medium body with a dry, crushed raspberry finish and dusty tannin. The best Lalande de Pomerol I have ever tasted, and maybe a perfect wine for this region. [Day 2: Added depth of color and fruit; with a chalky, vanilla midpalate. Awesome.]
