Really strong for a 2005 at this point, which I think is a year that needs more time even in Chateauneuf. Typicity is all there and not overdone like the 2007. Nice. Will hold my bottles for 2-3 years.

Not a huge Wine Spectator fan, but I have to give it to them on this one - what a dark horse wine of the year! Everything I could want out of a mountain merlot.
