Note di degustazione
The 2005 Domaine de L'A is a superb effort from Stéphane and Christine Derenoncourt. Still wonderfully deep and fleshy, the 2005 will drink well for another decade. Inky dark fruit, lavender, spice, leather and licorice as this sumptuous Côtes de Castillon shows off its many charms. The 2005 is just gorgeous.

The 2005 Domaine de l’A has a very different bouquet to the 2004: much more opulent and ravishing, almost glossy with saturated black cherry fruit, crème de cassis, bilberry jam and a smear of vanilla. The palate is sweet and candied on the entry with flashy blueberry and blackberry fruit, quite spicy on the back palate with a sweet candied, not cloying finish. It is still precocious given its age and a little ostentatious, yet undeniably pleasurable. Tasted at Berry Brothers & Rudd vertical with Stéphane Derenoncourt.
The home estate of Stéphane Derenoncourt has produced a major sleeper of the vintage in 2005. This dense plum/ruby/purple wine displays beautiful cassis, black cherry liqueur and earth in a full-bodied, opulent, multi-dimensional style. Deep, pure, rich and impressive, this is a beauty that can be drunk now or cellared for another 10-15 years.
