Lusseau Saint-Emilion - 2005 (750ml) Margaret River A hint of truffles emerges

A hint of truffles emerges as it sits in the glass

Taylor is always the most backward

This is followed by an exotic

It possesses an opaque dark ruby/purple color

but it has fine definition and hints of tangy marmalade and lemongrass that should become more accentuated with time

Lusseau Saint-Emilion - 2005 (750ml) Margaret River A hint of truffles emergesThe regisseur of the Gerard Perse properties has his own operation, Lusseau. It is a classic St. Emilion revealing a touch of toasty oak interwoven with beautiful notes of black cherry liqueur, roasted herbs, lavender, and licorice. The aromatics are followed by an opulent, fleshy wine possessing admirable purity and loads of fruit. Drink this lovely 2005 during its first decade of life. Robert Parker
