Château Carteau Côtes Daugay 2005 St Emilion is a Claret made by the Bertrand family in St Emilion. It is deep ruby with a narrow garnet rim - this indicates its age. This is a wine with rounded spice along with red and black ripe fruits on the nose, oak and cedar cigar box play heavily in its aroma palate as do pencil shavings. On the palate - dry with bold ripe fruits enrobed with smokey cedar box and spice, tannins are tasty, ripe and have a silky texture imparted by them. The refined and freshening acidity, balancing alcohol which is well tucked in, the wine has a great length, finishing with warm spices. Overall a rounded, well knitted smokey spicey juicy wine which is accessible and reflects its birthplace well - at £19.99 from The Wine Society offers good value for money.
Score : 90
