No sure about this one. It smelled reasonably clean for the age but on the palette it really developed into something that was full of VA. We did finish most of it but I would not go back to that one.

(Beaune Greves LAFARGE) 2005 Lafarge Dear Friends, Two wines from Michel Lafarge - one of the very top producers in all of 2005. The Passetoutgrains is especially enticing and the Beaune Greves competes with some of the best wines of the vintage: Both are directly from the cellars at Lafarge with the finest provenance available: Both are VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for their respective genre’s: 2005 Michel Lafarge Bourgogne - Passetoutgrains A l'Exception EXTREMELY LIMITED 2005 Michel Lafarge Beaune “Les Greves” EXTREMELY LIMITED Also.... One more shipment of this wine that seems to have no limit in value, also directly from the winery cellar: 2005 Roty Charmes Chambertin Tres Vielles Vignes (IWC95+) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Burg5468 Burg5467

gone, fruit has left the station, leaving rather aggressive tannins and not much else. Too many 05's are turning out like this.

Disappointed relative to expectations. On the short side, fruit has faded, not particularly complex. Don't see great aging potential here.

Nice balance, good ripe tanins and fruit -- a very good beaune. Will improve over at least 5 years, maybe 10, but showing well now.
