"The 2005 vintage is one of the greatest in the last 50 years, known for its notable fruit, density and power. Many will need years of cellaring before they reveal their true selves. This also rings true for the 2005 Clos des ChĂȘnes. Displaying a youthful core of red and black bramble fruits, spice and sandalwood, its palate is tightly wound and blanketed by firm but polished tannins. Despite its heavyweight stature, it remains balanced and fresh."
