From half bottle . Medium light garnet . This is quite closed at first , cool sous bois , touch of dry spice and some dried cherry, a bit difficult to read. Touch smoke , black tea , grafite and earthy notes after a while . On the palate this is better with fresh dark cherry , raspberry , blackberry , touch of liquorice and some earthy , grafite notes . Quite serious with quite grippy tannins still , touch of bitterness but balanced fresh acidity . Quite good sweetness on the mid palate and decent length , earthy finish . Gains in intensity and complexity with time in the glass . Still pretty young and tannic , like a lot of 2005s . Needs a bit of time to open, but should last well a further 5-8 years maybe longer , though this may never completely integrate those tannins. — 22 days ago

My continuing quest to taste as many 22’s as possible.

This leans into 93.

The nose shows, ruby, slightly candied mid to dark fruits. Dark cherries, cooked strawberries, blackberries, black raspberries and raspberry hues on the glass edges. Flowers that are soft, dark, red flowers with violets.

The palate reveals ripe to just a touch syrupy; dark cherries, blackberries, cooked strawberries and black raspberries. Clove, nutmeg, soft cinnamon & vanillin with deep, dark spice, melted caramel, barrel shavings, dry tobacco w/ some ash, lightly grilled meats, limestone marls, dry herbs, dry stone & topsoil, light forest floor w/ dry leaves, brilliant dark red flowers famed in liquid violets, rainfall acidity with a balanced, well made, nicely tensioned, elegant finish that last ninety seconds falling into dry stone and spice.

This will require about 7 years in the cellar and last 20 years properly stored.

At $159, priced fairly in today’s Burgundy market, which has soared. — a year ago

Tart cherries, hint of vanilla and spice on the nose. The acidity is superb. Ends in a medium+ finish.
