Lot #17. Faizeau Sélection Vieilles Vignes 2005

Description: Consists of 9 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 88-91 ST.
"Good bright ruby. Vibrant, pure aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, licorice and dark chocolate. Silky and suave in the mouth but with lovely vinosity to leaven the wine's deep sweetness. I love the sugar/acid snap here. Very fresh hints of licorice and exotic ginger. Nicely mouthcoating and lush on the back end, finishing with spreading, ripe tannins and a chocolatey flavor. An excellent performance. Half of these vines date back to 1911." Vinous, May 2006
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $140
