Pour le bonheur du consommateur patient qui sait l’attendre, car il vieillit admirablement et offre un vin typé, à prix modeste. J’étais curieux de voir si le 2005 serait représentatif de la qualité que j’ai trouvé dans les grands millésimes du domaine (1989 exceptionnel). |

4/11/2017 - gbeaudry Likes this wine: 91 pointsModerate upon opening and not quite ready then. Poured one glass and had one sip every 15 minutes and the wine evolved very nicely. An hour later, poured another glass full and the nose was very nice then with much more fruit than upon opening. This wine can sustain another 3 to 5 years in the bottle. Drink slowly through the remaining 11 bottles over the next decade... |

6/5/2017 - Julian Marshall Likes this wine: 90 pointsQuite an intense, fiery little number, with a much bolder, more forceful taste than usual. Behind all the black cherry, leather and blackcurrant there are hints of the usual elegance but they need at least another two years to emerge. Potentially a great wine if the tannins die down and I expect it to firmly put the 00 in its place. |

7/3/2017 - Zweder wrote: 90 pointsWeekly tasting group RWP #260: 10-20-30 plus euro's (@ RW): In the bouquet dark berries, cherries, some red fruits and chocolate as well. On the palate a juicy wine with dark berries, some bell pepper, beautiful oak, good acidity, slightly sticky tannin and a good length. Will show some more finesse with 3 – 6+ years of ageing. |

3/14/2018 - daghaug Likes this wine: NRMørke bær (blåbær?) på duft, litt medisinskap og noe kjøtt. I munnen kraftig, men saftig og frisk, med et lite preg av mynte. Veldig lang ettersmak. Litt lite tanninstruktur for en bordeaux, det skyldes kanskje 40% merlot i blandingen. Ikke så veldig kompleks på dette stadiet, men sjarmerende og fruktdrevet - mye å lagre på her. |

3/9/2018 - Baron Slick wrote: 91 pointsDrinking well now but a couple more years of cellar time and this will be even better. The bouquet of black cherry, red currant, and fresh roses shifts to leather and sous bois with effortless grace. It displays a tannic structure yet it's pliable, with an exciting intensity of flavor, bottle age complexity, and peppery spice on the youthful finish. Classy. |

4/18/2018 - isbjoern wrote: 90 pointsA very classy and juicy style of Medoc. Rusty iron notes and iodine flavors mix with black cherry and cassis, some "mon cherie" flavors, bright acidity, still slightly tannic, vegetal and herbal flavors dominate the finish, tobacco, charcoal and menthol, a hint of bitterness on the finish. Classy bottle of Bordeaux, still young, but enoyable now. - 90 points |

Belle longueur dans un style élégant classique., d’une grande buvabilité. Il incarne une sorte d’ode à la civilisation avec son côté raffiné et cette facilité avec laquelle il se fait compagnon de table. 90-91 pts |

7/29/2018 - winebargainchaser wrote: 88 pointsmy rating may be conservative, but the wine is ever so slightly disappointing: classic bordeaux nose, medium tannic and quite flavourful on the palate. I expected more, considering the very good reputation of this château among bdx winelovers. |

8/11/2018 - jeffreylubowski Likes this wine: 91 pointsI dont know the exact location of this chateau but it struck me as a very classy and traditional bdx with all of the expected notes. Cool, dark black cherry, with gravel and rust. Dense and young as these 2005 are, I think this bottle had decades left depending on how you like your claret. It had some funk and hay, like a gruaud or sociando, but then I love that in a wine. I will seek out other vintages of this wine. |

9/16/2018 - Harrie Likes this wine: 91 pointsAfter a three hour decant: very soft and elegant. Biggest drawback: does not convey very much fruit anymore. Will it get better ? I doubt. Nice, I’ll drink mine in the next three years. |

10/20/2018 - NiklasW Likes this wine: 92 pointsDecanted for 2 hours. Ooh, very nice nose of smooth cassis and plums, with a bit of smokiness. The palate is quite full bodied, with good dark fruit and strong tannins. This feels like it could still go a long way, but very nice now as well! |

12/1/2018 - petec-s Likes this wine: 90 pointsDecanted and with a funky bottle stink, this faded away with a little air and time. Improving in the glass with underlying cassis and bold minerality. The acidity and tannins expected from 2005, ready but with time in hand. 90+ |

12/16/2018 - Comte Flaneur wrote: 75 pointsDecanted, served blind, had to guess what it was. It was opaque, clearly very young, highly extracted, very ripe/over ripe with some unpleasant burnt notes. It had a lot of power, but quite an abrupt finish with harsh crash and burn tannins. I guessed USA Syrah, but was way off; when told France I thought southern Rhône or rural southern France. When told Bordeaux I guessed rightbank. Wrong again. Finally I suggested 2005 Cru Bourgeois, and I was correct. It was Chasse Spleen. I have had some very good wines from this property but this was frankly a shocker. It was not flawed or badly stored. Just unpleasant. We both drank half a glass only. |
