2005 Bordeaux In Stock!

This week Empire Wine is highlighting three wines that could potentially be on the
sought after "Top 100 Wines of 2008" list.
The first wine WAS AWARDED 100 POINTS BY WINE SPECTATOR. The Chat Haut Brion 2005 from Bordeuax, France is rich in both history and taste. Chateau Haut Brion dates back to 1525 when Jean de Pontac married Jeanne de Bellon who brought to him in her dowry the land of Haut Brion. Illustrious owners have marked Haut Brion for more than four centuries. A complex bouquet of ripe fruit, tobacco and mineral, earthy scents, this rich, ripe, full-bodied wine is an absolute stunner meant to be cellared for decades. (Patience is a Virtue!) Don't miss your opportunity to buy a wine that have left many speechless!!
Our next wine is the Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta 2005 from the Colchagua Valley in Argentina. Again, this is another wine that come highly rated (WS 96) and is a great example of a fine wine from the 2005 vintage. A beatuiful, rich wine with lots of depth. This impressive wine has a nose of berries and mocha with mineral notes. Lots of dark fruit and an elegant creaminess- you will not be disappointed with this one!
Our final wine that we are highlighting this week is the Sette Ponti Tenuta Crognolo 2006 from Tuscany, Italy. This is a wine that comes with an excellent track record and the 2006 vintage is no exception! Wine Spectator gave this wine a score of 92 points. The name Sette Ponti, or "seven bridges," refers to the seven bridges crossing the Arno River on the road from Arezzo to Florence. A blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, this lush wine has aromas of cherries and vanilla. At $25.95 a bottle you really can't go wrong!
