2005 Chateau Cassagne Haut-Canon, Canon-Fronsac (750ml)

From a prestigious site atop the hill of Canon-Fronsac where the shallow soils reveal fossilferous limestone, CHC is a wine of breed indeed. Ripe and supple fruit, blackberry like and some fresh spice sit right in the middle of this wine that has fine tannins and a gentle and long finish. The wine drinks beautifully now and will for another 5 years. It is one to keep you off the big dogs and I don't see it going into any dumb phase either.
