Château de Bel-Air 2005 Red (Lalande de Pomerol)

Price $40

This is the first vintage under its new owner, the American Stephen Adams. It’s relatively soft, with black currant fruits, given a delicious lift by some tight tannins. The acidity gives freshness, a zap to the dry, firm finish. — R.V. (6/1/2009)
