Wine Advocate #176(4/2008) Rating: 91 points Drink: 2008-2021
The second wine, the sensational 2005 Croix de Beaucaillou, is the finest example of this cuvee I have ever tasted. Sweet black raspberry and black cherry fruit aromas soar from the glass of this open-knit seductress. A dense ruby/purple color, beautiful full-bodied, lush, expansive flavors, low acidity, and sweet tannin suggest this lovely cuvee should be drunk over the next 12-13 years. It is an amazing sleeper of the vintage! -Robert Parker
Wine Spectator (6/30/2006) Score: 89-91
Focused aromas of currants, berries and spices follow through to a full-bodied palate, with silky tannins and a long, balanced finish. Excellent second wine. –JS
Decanter Rating：
Masses of colour, concentrated blackcurrant fruit, succulent, spicy and grippy, more depth than expected. Drink 2009-18. (16.5 points) |
