Chateau Greysac Medoc (Bordeaux), 2005

This is a reliable inexpensive Bordeaux Bourgeois Cru that I have bought and enjoyed for many years. I bought this bottle for about $12 when it was released, but the current vintage sells for about $25.

Good deep Cabernet color. Well preserved fruit. Currants, berries, spice. More black than red fruits. Acid, tannin, fruit, oak in good balance. A bit of sediment on the last pour. Holding well with no sign of decline. This wine is in this week's WineBid auction with a reserve of $25.
