Château Recougne, Bordeaux Superiéur (Bordeaux, France) 2005

($15, Ex Cellars Wine Agency): This is one of many wines that demonstrates the tremendous value to be found in the 2005 red Bordeaux.  It delivers more enjoyment that its modest appellation, Bordeaux Superiéur, suggests.  Meaty nuances combine with ripe fruit flavors in this silky wine.  Enjoyable now, the mild tannins provide structure without intruding and suggest the wine will develop nicely over the next several years.  This would be a choice if you were starting a cellar. 90 Michael Apstein Oct 23, 2007
