Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Deep and intense color. Nose of black fruit and cassis with a touch of vanilla. Round and ample attack. Tannic and silky finish well coated by the fruit. A wine to cellar for at least 5 or 6 years or aerate for 3 hours. Typical of Haut-Médoc, this wine improves with age like a St Julien of which it is the immediate neighbor.
Blend: 60% cabernet sauvignon, 35% merlot, 5% petit verdot

Wine Spectator
Offers raisin and dried fruit, with very ripe fruit aromas and coffee and oak undertones. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long finish. This is pumped up, but I like the flamboyant character. Best after 2011.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Space limitations did not allow complete tasting notes for this Cru Bourgeois, but 2005 is the finest vintage for these wines since 1982. The range of scores for these wines should give readers an idea of just how consistent this vintage is at this level. Given the style of the vintage, most of these wines should be accessible young yet evolve for a decade or more because of their concentration and tannic structure.
Range: 88-90 -
Wine Enthusiast
Considerable depth of flavor here, with complex ripe tannins, topping the dense black fruits. There's spice from the wood, some stalky tannins from the fruit, and an edge of youth that will need 3–4 years to show its potential.
