  I forgot about this bottle but it was still going strong. The cloying fruit I noticed the last time, back in 2014, has settled down and the elegance I was looking for has taken over. Classic tastes of blackberries and blackcurrants with a little creamy patch mid-palate and a decent finish. It has lost a little sparkle so probably best to drink it in the next couple of years. One of the rare 2005s not to suffer from excessive tannins.

  Reports of the Count d'Agassac's death are premature, even if the cork broke in half and gave a battle in coming out. A bright ruby in the glass, with nary a touch of bricking. A very nice nose of red currant, earth, forest floor, herbs and dried flowers. Served at the suggested 58-62 degrees fahrenheit, and this was just fine, with good acidity and concentration. We can rest easier over the fate of the last few remaining bottles.

  She’s dead, Jim. Fruit is gone and it’s now tobacco leaf & berry skins after pressing. Note to self; don’t age a drink-early claret like this.

  Du fruit, de la fraicheur, de la maturité, on passe un bon moment, mais rien de mémorable, ni en défaut, ni en magie. Un Bordeaux assez net, plutot gourmand, sans aristocratie!
