  Moderately aromatic of black cherries baked with rosemary, thyme and laurel. Medium-bodied, I guess this is losing some size with age, but the 2005 structure is definitely there with gripping tannins and bright acid. This is fully mature, but with plenty of life left. I can't wait to taste it at 20! Drink now-2025 93

  Extraordinarily aromatic with roasting peanuts, baked black cherry cobbler, herbs de Provence, exotic spices and roasting meat. Full-bodied, this is still moderately tannic (of medium quality) with loads of black berry and cherry flavors, more herbs de Provence, and a hint of eucalyptus. The finish lingers. What an excellent example of CdP and more specifically of what I love so much about 2005 CdP. Fully mature, but should continue to deliver pleasure for at least another 10 years (if you like old CdP). Drink now-2032 93 df 9.4

  Still holding its own but definitely time to drink this. Starting to show slight signs of its age.

  Deep red with leather-toned brim. Nose is fully mature with notes of leather, underbrush and some dark, dried fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied plus, mature, with fine-grained tannins, decent acidity and notes of leather, underbrush and black olives.
  
  Very classical Chateauneuf, fully mature, good but not great. No need to wait any longer for this.
