Saturday, June 13, 2015 - A pure pleasure-- and, at risk of adolescent-cide, it is worth trying a bottle now. I recall well my first LP, the 1967 in 1976,and the quality difference is astounding. Rich, full of 2005 fruit With only a half hour decant, little tannin.
Of course a massive wine for this estate and for St Julien, the 2005 unfolds a rich robe of dark dark almost deep concentrated cherry/blueberry in the very center of the palate, with dark cherry and some cassis on the borders, a full finish. The nose has cedar,smoke, earth and of course black cherry.
The only thing missing, compared with its neighbor LLC, is complexity. Much will develop in time but this will not be a first growth in that regard.
But so what? Fine Bordeaux 2005 accessible early is worth a lot.
