Very rewarding 2005 Lalande Pomerol..still very much alive last bottle and wonderful to enjoy at this time opulent boquet at 4 hours concentrated and building in the mid pallet and finishing wonderfully fruitiness and wood well integrated for at least 30 seconds; real complement of the excellence of the 2005 vintage!!!

The wine still has good color, no sediment. The nose shows some red fruit, with notes of leather. Nice berry fruit, but subtle. Good body, the tannins are very soft at this point. The medium finish lingers a bit.

Tiring at this point. Fruit diminishing but developing secondary characteristics. Slightly discombobulated upon opening. Seemingly more assimilated after opening up for an hour. Drink up.

Not much fruit. Decent but not great.
