Touch of Bret killer wine with great perfect structure in a grand space. Wish the Bret was not there

Great wine, but with monte enebro from Bedford cheese, insanely good.

Cherry, touch of dried meat, mushroom, slight brett on the palate. Excellent balance and great sweet fruits on palate, good length.

A good, but not excellent bottle of this. After many years of drinking very well, it may be shutting down or simply falling off

Cool, tinge of greenness, blueberries, dried flowers, and savory. Still has decent structure and acidity. Everyone guessed the vintage left and right until we finally arrived at 2007. Now is the time to drink this!

Very good wine. Interestingly having tasted through all of his 2005 Grand Cru offerings, I do not see much difference in the bottlings. They all taste pretty much the same. Not a bad thing - in fact they are all very good- just not much sense of differentiated terroir to my palate. Maybe it is me.
