2005 Pipeau St Emilion

93 pts - Wine Advocate

One of St.-Emilion’s true exuberant fruit bombs, the explosively rich, intense 2005 is the finest Pipeau I have ever tasted. It even eclipses the 2000. A dense purple color is accompanied by glorious aromas of black raspberries, cherries, licorice, and smoke. It is an in-your-face, exotic, full-bodied effort that begs for attention. While not a classic claret, in terms of pleasure, few wines deliver as much exuberance and fruit. Enjoy it over the next 12-15 years. RP
