jamessuckling.com, 99 points: The purity of fruit in this is fascinating with plums, currants and other dark fruits. Then there is another layer of spices and chocolate. So much cassis. Full and very layered with chewy polished tannins and a long...
Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: Surprisingly dry this has richness rather than sweetness and intense powerful botrytis. The honey is intensely perfumed along with baked apples and spice. Certainly a long-aging wine.
Wine Enthusiast, 90 points: A full, firm, ripe wine that shows considerable style and richness. There are fine, dusty tannins, masking the full-bodied black fruits, licorice flavors, and a firm, smooth aftertaste.
Wine Spectator, 94 points: A powerful, structured and graceful 2005, showing deft integration of the rich, chalky underpinning, firm acidity and expansive flavors of crushed black currant, spring blossom, toasted almond, crystallized honey and...
Wine Spectator, 96 points: Shows the great embedded structure of the vintage, with a strong graphite undertow pushing the layers of blackberry, boysenberry and plum fruit, while additional sweet spice, mocha and bittersweet cocoa notes fill in the...
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain has an opaque purple color and fabulously intense notes of beef blood, crushed rocks, forest floor, crème de cassis, licorice, and a volcanic/charcoal/hot gravel character...
jamessuckling.com, 95 points: A truly special site, this is a majestic Champagne that has superb darker notes of brulée, roasted almonds and lightly spiced caramel, plus blue fruit aromas, cassis and mineral flecked earth. The palate's really rich and...
Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 95 points: The Château Léoville-Poyferré 2005 has a rich and opulent bouquet with lavish ripe black cherries and wild strawberry, just a touch of licorice rendering its even more extravagant. The palate is full-bodied with ripe...
Wine & Spirits, 92 points: Located in the north of Pauillac, between Mouton and Pontet-Canet, this 123-acre estate is also part of G.F.A. Baronne Philippine de Rothschild. The aroma balances meaty fruit and mineral scents, and while the pungent red...
Wine Enthusiast, 94 points: This tastes of great Cabernet Sauvignon, with its black currant, cedar and herbs and fresh, juicy acidity. It is as fresh as it is rich, but it has a structure of dense tannins that balances the wine. This is one of the...
Wine Spectator, 93 points: #47 Top 100 of 2007. Shows very flattering ginger and peach aromas, but tightens up quickly on the palate thanks to its nervy acidity, which keeps the quince, persimmon and marzipan notes in reserve. Superlong finish...
Wine Spectator, 94 points: Shows blackberry coffee cedar and raisin on the nose turning to licorice and fresh flowers. Full-bodied with refined silky tannins and a long finish. Balanced and juicy. Builds on the palate with currant licorice and...
Neal Martin's Wine Journal, 96 points: This sample was opened two days ago but wow, what a wine! This has more intensity on the nose than the 2004, touches of macerated black cherries, stewed figs, a touch of raisin and honey. Very good definition. A powerful...
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 94 points: The 2005 Comtes de Champagne Rosè has gained quite a bit of depth and richness since I last tasted it about six months ago. Initially a bit restrained, and times even ethereal, the 2005 seems to be coming out of its...
