Had this among a line up of 18 wines. Became softer through the night. Enjoyable wine without really standing out too much from the line up. End of the night ended up signing the 70 and 82 bottles.

Red fruit, classic gevrey nose, very fine and ripe tannins, evertyhing in balance. Nice long finish. Very well made wine. Surprised that this is open for a 05 and this definitely performwd at a qualityy 1er cru level. Looking fwd to remaining bottles over the years. Tried at cenac 2

tannins have really smoothened out. this has become a good drinking wine. had this with a quick meal with sushi and tv. sweet cedar type of taste, not much on the nose, really holds any type of alcohol well, good balance but still can taste the weight of the fruit. not much complexity now but got that enveloped fruit intensity in this. one of the early nice enjoyable 05 bordeauxs i have had.
