Wow! Mörk och tät. I högsta grad levande fruktaromer med tertiära inslag som kommer smygande. Skulle säga mörka bär, körsbär, tobak och läder. Lång och komplex. Utmärkt.

Still a work in progress but showing promise. I agree that it's angular - like other 05s, it tastes like a modern-day 86. Mostly blackberry notes, with lingering tannins and a little bite on the finish. Decanting helped and it was better the next day, so time will soften the edges further, but 05 is what it is.

Mid-garnet. Not deep in colour. Nose is muted--a little herbal but not excessive. Has length but could do with more weight and complexity. For me, this is too angular to spot as Margaux and barely of classed growth quality though its not about to fall over either.

Easter wine with roast leg of lamb. Medium body, well balanced with fully integrated tannins. Cherry and currants, leather, dusty earth, and herbal notes. Probably at its best now.

Dried red fruit dominant Margaux: leather, blackcurrant, fig, smoke, cherry, tobacco, medium body, dry long finish. At peak.
