2005 Chateau Haut-Bergey, Pessac-Leognan, Bordeaux

The 2005 Haut-Bergey received 92 points from Robert Parker:  "One of the finest under-the-radar estates in Pessac-Leognan, Haut-Bergey's 2005 (a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot) offers up aromas of scorched earth, wet stones, burning embers, charcoal, and copious black currant and cherry fruit.  The sumptuous bouquet is accompanied by a full-bodied wine displaying dazzling purity, sweet tannin, and a long, opulent finish.  This beauty will be drinakable at a relatively early age, and the anticipated maturity is 2010-2025."  The list price is $39.
