Château de la Gardine - L'immortelle 2005

Château de la Gardine - L'immortelle 2005

Robert Parker 91+/100, RVF 17.5/20, Bettane & Desseauve 17.5/20, Gault Millau 16/20
"Dense and tannic on the palate, very full-bodied, with highly expressive notes of black fruit, this wine displays great intensity and undoubtedly has significant aging potential." (Le Grand Guide des Vins de France 2009, Bettane & Desseauve). A wine of great finesse, a far cry from over-the-top, muscular wines, made from 100% Mourvèdre in the exceptional 2005 vintage.
