Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Mar 2008

Good dark red. Dark cherry and raspberry lifted by spices and stone. Juicy, bright and penetrating, with a distinct delicacy for the year. Dark cherry flavor complicated by spices, minerals and licorice. Firmly structured wine, and tougher today than the Epenots. Girardin finds most of these 2005s to be quite closed on the nose at present.

Bright ruby-red. Highly aromatic nose combines redcurrant, tobacco, dried flowers, spices and iron. Offers more mid-palate precision and verve than the Bressandes, with redder fruits and attractive floral lift. A bit less stiff today. Finishes with dusty, ripe tannins. Despite the rather soft extraction he did, Girardin says that all of these wines still need further "refining" in barrel. He finds them quite reserved today but still believes that 2005 will be a vin de plaisir
