Lacked the concentration and excitement that I that a 2005 might have. #bordeaux #pauillac #duhartmilon #2005 — 9 years ago
Med + concentration with a deep ruby core and light red rim. An evolving nose with med intensity and med + complexity showing off ripe (somewhat tired) red and black fruit. Lacked secondary #pauillac characteristics but had a unique smell of bacon fat. Med + tannin and med acid left the palate a little dull with dead fruit and fallen leafs being the dominant tastes. Med length. #bordeaux #duhartmilon #leftbank #cabernetsauvignon #ctbucklinwine — 8 years ago
Concentration a complexity were lacking. Structure was falling apart. Enjoyable but nothing exciting. #bordeaux #duhartmilon — 9 years ago
A great representation of #leftbank #bordeaux from a ripe vintage. The core was deep ruby fading out to crimson with nice concentration. The nose was powerful and very complex showing ripe black and red fruit, and secondary notes. The palate was well structured and still very tight not showing nearly as much as the nose. The finish was long but dominated by smoke. Lots of time to go. #duhartmilon #pauillac #ctbucklinwine — 8 years ago
Rich and delicious with new world qualities. This was best when right after decanting. Acid was low but the balance was great. After three hours it became flabby and undefined. #pauillac #duhartmilon #2003 #bordeaux — 9 years ago

Another 2005. Magnum kept the oxygen in check, but reveals it still quite young. Magnolia in a warm breeze. Cherry blossom. Pine, chainsaw heated. Coffee rye. Violets, both fresh and dry, on this floral led bouquet. Rich blackberry in a medium-verging-heavy mouthfeel rich black currant, ripe cassis, sloes, rosemary, sweet mocha tobacco, black cherry and smoke. Relentlessly rich.
