Tasting Notes
Sweet, toasty, oaky notes interwoven with hints of black
olives, blackberries, cassis, and spice box are found in this
densely saturated ruby/purple-hued 2005. While rich, with
impressive concentration and purity, it is also tanic, full-
bodied, and painfully backward and foreboding. This is
another long-term prospect that will require patience.
Picking Dates
From September 21st to October 10th 2005.
Weather Conditions
The year 2005 can be summarized in three words: drought, sunshine
and a large range of temperatures. In a normal year, the rainfalls in
Gironde represent on average 900 mm. In 2005, only 400 mm of rain
were recorded. This year will remain in all the wine-growers' memories because of the
exceptional weather conditions. Fresh mornings allowing to preserve acidity.
