Wine Enthusiast
92-94 Barrel sample. Big and bold, this wine may lack grace, but it has many other attractive elements, like its ripe fruits, its Technicolor tannins and its dark flavors.
Score: 93.

Wine Advocate
Surprisingly reminiscent of a Burgundy grand cru such as Corton, this 2005 Pessac-Leognan offers a dark ruby hue as well as beautifully sweet, leafy, black cherry, and smoky aromas intermixed with hints of oak and earth. Not a blockbuster, it is a wine of finesse, delicacy, and purity with lovely balance, good acidity, ripe tannin, and a sweetness that permeates the flavors as well as the tannic structure. It should be drinkable at a relatively young age. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2025.
Score: 91.
