3/28/2024 - Fantomas Likes this wine: 99 pointsSmooth and silky, beautiful nose of cherry and raspberry, some leather notes, full bodied, excellent length. Back in 85, the alcohol content was still balanced and not overpowering. Reds should go back to less alcohol and more character. A beautiful time capsule. |

1/23/2024 - Fantomas Does not like this wine: 85 pointsWhy produce wines with 15.5% alcohol. It's unnecessary, blasts the taste buds, and overshadows the subtle notes. The wine could be nice but is just too much into your face. |

9/5/2020 - Fantomas Likes this wine: 92 pointsWho would have thought that this is so far the discovery of the year. Amazing balance on the palate between red fruit and tannins, some cinnamon and lively acidity. Beautiful length. Rather old world. |

2005 Château MagdelaineSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/19/2019 - Fantomas Likes this wine: 92 pointsWith brie and baguette. Very nice character. Dark fruit, tannins, long finish. Will last many years. A grand seignieur of St. Emilion. I am emotionally attached since this wine was my first en primeur back in 1995. The 2005 is beautiful. |

11/17/2018 - Fantomas Likes this wine: 88 pointsVery nice and drinkable even at its young age. Beautiful blend of old world spice with new world sweetness and fruitiness. This will still develop over the years but is already now a very nice companion. Slightly sweet with nice acidity and some lemon zest, medium length. |

2/10/2018 - Fantomas Likes this wine: 88 pointsCork was wet and corroded. However, very nice acidity and freshness. Pleasant. Much better than the previous bottle which had oxidized and was spoilt, this one is in excellent condition. Not at its prime but enjoyable. |
