  Still very solid. Full body, dry, and some mild finishing tannin. Needs an hour of decanting. Starting to pass its prime. Has faded some compared to 2020 notes. Drink up now.

  The fresh mint leaf aromas really leave quite an impression on me. Refined and nicely saturated. Hint of dark mint chocolate. Great right now.

  Rich, zesty, herby, minerally bouquet. Pitch perfect, layered attack. Drinking great, incredible QPR (as always, but especially so in 2005).

  The label, capsule and cork are pristine - I was told this bottle was a recent Chateau release.
  
  Medium garnet with an orange-y rim. Intense aromas of plum, plum sauce and black cherry. Made in an opulent style that emphasizes the ripeness of 2005 fruit. Mouth-filling flavors of plum, plum skins, juicy cherry and a hint of cinnamon. Surprisingly grippy tannins coat the mouth on the finish. Very tasty and still primary and can probably develop for a few more years.

  Typical Bordeaux nose, cassis, a little spice, some black fruit, it faded with time but really not too bad. Had with a grilled ribeye. Great for the price.
