Reviews 96 points Wine Advocate "This estate's finest wine of the decade is the 2005 Grand-Puy-Lacoste, a fleshy, sumptuous wine evocative of cassis, sweet red berries and cigar box, framed by a touch of creamy new oak that integrates with opening. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with an enveloping core of fruit, rich tannins and a seamless but authoritative profile, it concludes with a long, resonant finish. Just entering early maturity, it will continue to develop for several decades. (WK)" 92 points Vinous "Good bright ruby. Vibrant, pure aromas of cassis, violet, minerals and licorice. Big attack: this enters the mouth like a wave. Then fresh, firm and classy in the middle, with a medicinal austerity but also lurking sweetness to the flavors. This spreads out nicely on the back end, finishing with fine-grained tannins and excellent length. I like the acid/tannin balance here. In its combination of precision and refinement, this surpasses the 2003 here. (ST)"
