Note di degustazione
While not up to more recent vintages, the 2005 Château Quinault L’Enclos is a beautiful wine that’s drinking at point today. Lots of black raspberries, green tobacco, wildflowers, cedarwood, and chalky minerality emerge from the glass, and it’s a rich, medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated Saint-Emilion that offers both depth of fruit and elegance. I would drink bottles any time over the coming decade while the fruit is still front and center.

Made when the proprietor was Dr. Alain Raynaud, this 2005 is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec from a vineyard that is a true clos within the town of Libourne. Moderately intense mulberry and blueberry fruit are present in a medium-bodied, delicate and finesse style of dark ruby/purple-colored wine that is fresh and not nearly as powerful and extracted as most 2005s tend to be. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.
Zesty, currants. Pretty dry but not too hot or porty. But there’s a streak of greenness on the finish. (JR)
