Smooth silky blackcherry/blueberry, aromatic herbs,,some funk that took its time to blow off but added some complexity, sweet mid palate and carried thru smooth but every present tannins...just a well balanced wine and paired great with stripsteaks at home...

This Pessac-Léognan is my favourite next to Pape Clement & not being able to afford Haut-Brion

Just gorgeous. Needs about an hour to open up but wow what a payoff.

To be honest....I never ever paid any attention to SHL till that moment.....100 points for the 2009 by Robert Parker. Since that moment I bought some Cases 09 and a case 00, 05 and 08. This 2005 Rocks! “Napa-style” Bordeaux.

Iron, iron, just hardcore minerality & dried blackcurrants around that core. Still has room to open up. Very good. 375ml, what a pleasure. 2nd tasting, this time impressed more. Hmmmm.

Black fruits, graphite with lots of mineral. Still very youthful like most 05's showing lots of tannin structure. I would not open another btl for at least 5 more years.

Wasn't impressed given all the hype about the 2005 vintage. Finish was almost non-existent.
