Inga formella noter. Äntligen har denna vaknat till liv! Utan konkurrens bästa flaskan Cantemerle någonsin. Doftar och smakar som en mogen bordeaux ska. Utmärkt.

So tightly wound up on day one I could not give it a score. After 1 glass, we put the cork back in and let is oxidise for 24 hours.
Upon re-opening and decanting, this wine shone quite nicely. It is still in the primary stages, but drinking well as a youthful Bordeaux (LOL at 18 years of age).

Started to show after one hour in decanter. Graphite, earthy forest floor notes and some dark fruits, predominantly blackcurrant. In the mouth, good amount of ripe dusty tannins, elevated freshness. Got better after 3 hours. Nice, classic left bank from exceptional vintage. Ready to drink but can wait another 10 years without any problem. 91-92 pts.

I didn't like this young and I don't like it now. The tannins have receded, but so has the fruit, leaving something faded and smudged, with only a glimpse of the elegance that once characterised this estate's wines. Each to their own, but for me there are countless numbers of Crus Bourgeois 2005s that are better than this. At 35 to 40 euros currently at auction, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
