Saturday, August 20, 2011 - Bought today for USD 20 at supermarket just to give it a try - seemed like a very good deal for a 05 grand cru. Decanted 20 min and drank half bottle over 2 hours. Dark garnet color, nose not very expressive with some red fruit. There is not much (red) primary fruit left on the medium body, however except for a slightly bitter note there is not much else going on on the palate. On the positive side the tannins are quite fine and together with the good balance it makes this a quite easy drinking wine right now (unlike many other cheaper 05 right bank bordeaux which are pure tannin at this point in time).
Rest of bottle did not hold up well the next day. The fruit is now entirely gone, and all there is is left are the dry tannins. Would give it 87 for drinking now but I think it has already started its decline so drink up.
