2005 Jean de Gue

This blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Aubert family, who have done so much on the Right Bank with their multiple estates. Dense ruby/purple, rich, chewy, thick, masculine and concentrated, this is a big, extracted Lalande de Pomerol that needs to develop more finesse and complexity. Drink it over the next decade.
