2005 Chateau de Chantegrieve, Graves, Bourdeaux

Today, I'll discuss four wines from the Graves region.  All of the wines have a list price around $20.  The first wine is the 2005 Chateau de Chantegrieve.  Jancis Robinson, the noted English wine critic, gives it 17 points (out of 20 total points):  "The wine has a blackish crimson color.  Very sweet, ripe black fruit with some warm-brick (Haut-Brion-like) overlay.  Lots of minerals and interest with intense ripeness yet freshness, too.  A very, very amiable wine.  Lovely balance with neat, sandy tannins on the finish."  The list price is $20.
