2005 Chateau Greysac
I am always on the lookout for a house wine. You know, the bottle you open on Tuesday night or maybe it is the second bottle you open when company stops by. A couple of weeks ago, a friend sent me home with a bottle of 2005 Chateau Greysac. I like the wines from Médoc; they express plenty of flavor without overpowering. I had avoided buying many ‘05s because they were simply out of my price range. Chateau Greysac, however, is priced under $15. The bottle that came home with me cost $13.75.
Showing spice and dark currant, this wine has a pretty nose. In the mouth, the wine is medium-full bodied with a fine tannin structure and enough acid to go with food, but enough interest to stand alone. This is not a wine for the ages, nor is it a wine that I would store for years. However, for Bordeaux under $15, this is a bottle of wine that I will be drinking this spring.
