Another tiny St.-Emilion operation (7.5 acres with one parcel of Merlot planted in 1901) Lucia's brilliantly executed 2005 boasts an inky/purple/blue color along with a sweet perfume of blueberries blackberries charcoal incense Asian spices and hints of coffee and pain grille in the background. This full-bodied powerful layered St.-Emilion is filled with fruit extract glycerin and tannin. It displays a certain accessibility but it will undoubtedly be at its finest in 4-10 years and keep for 25. This is another sumptuous wine from consultant Stephane Derenoncourt.
