  5/3/2024 - kostaslonis Likes this wine:

  Brought to drink at Oinoscent during service. No decant, just slowly drank
  Thick red fruit core, whole spice, there is a raspberry fruit note right in the middle setting the tone.
  Bright palate, med body, nice balancing acidity, again plenty of red fruit, spicy frame, youthful, long finish.
  After about 2hr, you get mostly black fruit and the oak gets more upfront with all its spices.

  Full, plush NSG, rich, cossetting rather than complex.

  From own cellar - Freshness on the nose, menthol, faint scent of pot-pourri upon opening that grows more obvious with extended airing. This has integrated and has shedded tannins. Overall very harmonious with respectable finish. A bit one-dimensional however with a somewhat inscrutable fruit profile which is hard to pin down. One feels an elite 1er Cru NSG in a year like 05 ought to show more. Probably just starting to come out of its shell and deserves another 5+ years of cellar time

  Opened for 90 minutes prior to serving. Didn’t decant. Still so much fruit! Dense and broad but very much in balance. Would argue that this is at peak. Lots of sediment.

  others liked this a LOT more than I did... feels like this is a great bottle of wine but like many many '05's I don't think this is anywhere near ready... if I was smart I'd bury all the '05's and not get them out for another 15 years at least
