Château Bahans Haut-Brion 2005 Pessac-Léognan

BAHANS HAUT-BRION 2005

偉大な年の果実味と、緻密なタンニン。

2005年という偉大なヴィンテージの恩恵を受けた一本です。深みのあるルビー色のグラスから立ち上るのは、ブラックベリーやカシスの果実に杉や甘草、タバコ、わずかな黒鉛のニュアンスが加わった複雑な香り。口に含むと熟した果実味がしなやかなタンニンと溶け合い、バランスのとれた構成が広がります。余韻には土やスパイスが静かに続き、クラシカルなグラーヴらしさが残ります。仔羊の香草パン粉焼きとともに。

Tasting note

Deep ruby color. The aroma that rises from the glass is rich in complexity, with blackberry and cassis fruits as well as cedar, licorice, tobacco and a slight hint of graphite. In the mouth, the ripe fruit flavor blends with supple tannins, creating a well-balanced composition. The aftertaste is quietly marked by aromas of earth and spices, leaving a strong impression of classic Graves. A wine that combines strength and elegance, reflecting the great vintage of 2005.

Food pairing

Rossini-style beef fillet, roast duck with red wine sauce, and herb-breaded lamb
