Classic claret. Secondary notes of cigar box and forest. Might need more time to show its full potential. Only concern is the slightly greenish notes on the palate. Still, a great wine. 94?

A very nice wine, pretty developed, still primary fruit notes, but overall velvety merlot driven wine with earthy black currants, some cloves and warm spices. i have my reservation when it comes to 2005 as a vintage, in Bordeaux in particular, but this wine stands nicely and drinks well. it is just that little hint of firmness that recalls some faint memories of other 2005s in a more reductive state.

Chocolaty, ripe dark fruit and coffee notes. Very fine structure on the palate. Dark ripe fruit balanced with soft tannins and mild acidity. Peak minus, perhaps and lacking a bit of depth but overall very enjoyable.
