Escudo Rojo Baron Philippe de Rothschild 2005 is complex, expansive and generous. A cascade of ripe red fruit, cherry, blackcurrant and raspberry, delicately accompanied by subtler notes of tobacco, spice and toast distinguish this wine from first sniff. Once on the tongue round, rich and full-bodied flavors mingle with the mature tannins to gently enfolded delicious vanilla, chocolate and liquorice palate. The finish is long, flavorsome and silky, underlining the fullness of the ripe fruit. The blend successfully balances the structure and freshness of Cabernet with the roundness and powerful flavor of Syrah and Carmenère.
