Thursday, June 18, 2015 - Excellent Bordeaux, but not at the level I was expecting from a 2005 first growth. I had a much better experience with the Ducru-Beaucaillou 2005. Still very young, it needed some time in the decanter (3-4 hours wouldn't be too much). Smooth tannins, medium complexity (this should change in the next 10-15 years), perfect balance and very good length. Do not open before 2020-2025.
