Opaque purple core with a slightly lighter rim. Full and deep aromas of cherry and raspberry blend with hints of tobacco and cedar. Silky smooth on the palate, this full-bodied red features juicy, pure fruit flavors with delicious notes of chocolate and spice. Sweet tannin rounds this beauty out and the finish shows considerable length.

A brilliant sleeper of the vintage, this is a terrific effort from Haut-Brisson's new proprietor. The deep purple-colored 2005 La Reserve exhibits sweet black currant and cherry fruit intermixed with notes of cigar smoke, fruitcake, and cedar. Full-bodied with superb purity, good acidity, and ripe tannin, it should unfold gracefully over the next 5-6 years, and keep for 15+.
