2005 Château Clos de Sarpe

Community Tasting Note

Does not like this wine:

82 Points

Thursday, January 20, 2022 - I’d say this wine is flawed but it is the exact same experience I had with a bottle at a restaurant and it had the same issues. Someone earlier said it came across as a “dirty old wine” which I agree with. There are oxidative features that are hard to get past. RP points pointed this out and said it might haunt owners at a future date and gave it 95? With the dread ? LPB and JD gave it very high scores. Wonder if there are different bottles out there. Love right bank wines. Not this one. The 2000 was quite nice. Not sure what happened with some of these bottles.
