Great nose. Still in its youth. Dark garnet. Red currant, blackberry, and licorice. Still tannic on the palate, and still evolving. Classic 2005 vintage Pauillac. Enjoyed with Smoked Tri-Tip. Early maturity to drink with decant.

Regular dinner group (@ EM): Beautiful slightly developed bouquet with cassis and some beautiful oak. On the palate cassis, some chocolate and spiciness, elegant acidity, good bitterness and soft tannin with a pleasant bite. Really beautiful wine. Luxurious, but not overly complex. Early maturity now. Will offer great drinking from now until about 2020.

Needs time in the decanter. Patience is rewarded. Lots of depth and character. Classic Pauillac flavors.

Very good wine. So different to Les Forts from the same year, lighter on the palate and less intense. I really liked the nose and the long finish.
