  I am a bit on the fence with this wine... a bottle in 2021 was quite giving and "easy", then we had a clearly off bottle in 2023 and now this was initially quite muddled on opening and didn't reveal much in the form of hallmark CLB aromas but with air it turned the corner slightly. For me CLB consistently delivers in general but possibly 05 and 06 is a bit more tricky / mixed here (bottle variation, things were still on the up in quality?) while 07 onwards I had almost only winners.

  Sadly a (very) oxidised bottle despite coming from perfect storage and provenance. I have encountered issues of oxidation with some 06 CLBs which can show either beautiful or stewed/Barolo-esque. I had a good bottle of Reignots 05 last year so this was definitely the bottle. Maybe a cork issue around the time of 05/06???

  Has not moved much, still that pruny side to it; very concentrated, certainly, in that sense a 2005, but this is more than just mature, it has an oxidative side to it. One of the weakest of the day.

  During a wonderful evening with core theme CLB Reignots. This was an 05 that is surprisingly accessible, not too concentrated (in fact it was almost light footed) and already showing good nuance aside of the very enchanting core cherry fruit. It's all in place but with 5 more years could/should develop more secondary notes and become even more interesting. Sadly I don't think I will be fortunate enough to encounter it again. Bottle 1244 of 1663

  Over the hill and simply tastes cooked. Bad wine to be avoided. (1190/1663)
