  Dark red. Generous nose of cassis, quite complex, with some spice. Varm, complex and fruity, almost chevy fruit. Good lenght, with som spice. Really good, Bordeaux-like. Save max two more years.

  Dark red and purple color with a nice nose.
  The first flavor is leather, tobacco, thyme, sun dried tomatoes and blackcurrant.
  The balance is good, but I wouldn't keep the 05 for much longer as the tannin is a little high.
  The different varieties of grapes are very apparent and gives the wine a lot of varied flavors and a certain amount of complexity.
  The finish is of medium length (7-8).
  Big difference with the 2011 I tasted a couple of weeks ago, I rate the 05 at least 2 points higher than the 2011.

  Un assemblage unique de 35% Cabernet franc – 35% merlot – 15% Abouriou - 15% cabernet sauvignon.
  Un nez chocolaté, avec des cerises, des épices (cannelle). Le vin est rond et mûr, bien proportionné, ferrugineux, agréable, frais, avec une finale en finesse. Il a un petit coté sérieux bordelais. Il a bien la rondeur du merlot, mais l’aromatique légèrement herbacée trahit la présence du cabernet franc. Un vin franc, distinctif et original. 90 pts

  Remarkable red oozing with character. There is a sort of claret/nebbiolo duality going on here. Deep fresh blackcurrant and sour blackberries with charcoal/coal, violets, ceps, and burnt wood. A mix of fresh and savoury qualities, which is that rare combination that keeps you drinking regardless of the season. Acidity fresh, tannins firms, finish long and both earthy and fruity. May I have another glass?

  Nez sur le chocolat à la menthe (After eight)
  La bouche est ronde avec un bon volume, dans un style bordelais, un peu maquillé. Il est plus à son aise à table, avec le canard. Par sa texture, il donne une impression de liqueur de cassis, mais l'ensemble demeure équilibré, même si on souhaiterait plus de charme et d'éclat. Belle finale serrée, qui gagne en précision après quelques heures. Difficile d'évaluer son potentiel de bonification. Les tanins me font parier sur une attente de deux ou trois ans minimum. 89+ pts
