April 6, 2024 - Drank at the same Commanderie event and agree completely w BordeauxOne’s note. An opened recorked bottle was still singing on the next night w homemade burgers. However, an 05 Leoville Barton tried alongside at the event had a lot more structure and black fruit to it.

April 6, 2024 - Great easy drinking Pape Clement. Drank at a Commanderie de Bordeaux Partager. Still young. Can drink for several more decades if stored properly. Excellent with Beef Daube Provencal. Hold off for another 3 -5 years before drinking again.

March 9, 2024 - Small Tasting & Dinner with Friends: A taste from a bottle opened the previous evening. Very much Pessac with notes of black fruit, asphalt and iodine. Still a good bit firm and tannic, with flavors of black currant, plum and iodine with good underlying acidity. Generally speaking, it seems these '05s are evolving at a glacial pace. (R&D)
