Wine By Bok - 9.75/10 Stars
Almost 5 stars
This wine was really impressive, in fact any Bordeaux 2005 really never failed to impress me. The first nose was Margaux alike: coffee, ripe fruits. Palate was really stunning, rich, bold and elegance without the power you'd expect from a powerhouse. It was really the vintage play here.
Wine Spectator 97/100 Points
Exhibits blackberry, mineral, currant and dark chocolate. Full and velvety, with lots of fruit and chewy tannins. Long and caressing, with incredibly sweet fruit and tannins on the finish. Goes on for minutes. A thoroughly gorgeous wine. *#18, Top 100 Wines of 2008, Highly Recommended*
Wine Advocate 96/100 Points
A beautiful wine, once again, from this property that has been on a superb qualitative roll for several decades. Dense ruby/purple with notes of graphite, background oak, youthful crème de cassis and blackberry fruit as well as a floral underpinning, it is medium to full-bodied, textured, rich and impressive.
