Château Trimoulet St. Emilion Grand Cru 2005 (France) $35
St. Emilion was not classified in 1855 like the wines of the Medoc on the Left Bank of the Gironde. Reclassification is done every 10 years with some chateaus moving up and others moving down! Trimoulet is 70% Merlot with Cabernet Franc 25% and Cabernet Sauvignon 5%. 2005 was a year that saw wines produced with massive fruit and plenty of tannin to match. At once opulent with plenty of cellaring potential, this was one of many recent vintages to be the best of the decade, century, or ever! The aroma is excellent with notes of red fruit, tropical flavors such as banana, and hints of licorice and spices. It is even more evident when tasting the wine. Plenty of decanting time is recommended. The wine can be cellared for many years, but is enjoyable if given enough air.
