TOP CHATEAUX FROM THE SOUGHT-AFTER 2005 VINTAGE
2005 ***** A vintage much heralded and achieving considerable acclaim from almost the moment the grapes were picked following well nigh ideal growing conditions... Before preparing my notes for publication, I was inclined to think that this was probably an over-hyped, overrated vintage. Having assembled them, however, it is perfectly apparent the 2005 is unquestionably a vintage of the highest and, on the whole, most uniform quality M.B.
Lying in Corsham, Wiltshire (Octavian)
Offered duty-paid, but available in bond
Offered in original wooden cases
Château Latour--Vintage 2005
Pauillac, 1er cru classé
Tasting note: ... Very deep, velvety sheen, fairly intense purple; low-keyed but distinctive, newly-sawn wood and mocha; sweet, full-bodied (13.5 alcohol), very fleshy, good length, teeth-gripping, mouth-drying tannin. At the Château, April 2006 (****) 2020-2035 M.B.
