May 29, 2015 - Opened one and slowox for some 6h, stored cold. Nice complex nose but thin and coarse palate, must be an off bottle. Just no sense of the balance I remember. So, open a second bottle with much hopes for different experience. Straight from bottle but 100% similar to the first bottle. What is wrong? These are pretty close to undrinkable. very long taste actually but nothing in the pleasant sphere. Dare not open a third!

personally i think the 05 is among the top 3 vintages for SHL in the last 20+ years along with 09 & 10 -

5/30/15, 10:04 AM - I agree with Bubba! The 2005 SHL is un-doubtingly one of the best SHL's produced without being overblown like the 2009 and 2010...Its a great representation of Pessac Leongnon and a bargain next to an Haut Brion...Dont give up, try again, you probably had a bad bottle.
