Tasting notes
An intense nose that seems to offers a different character on every visit; black cherry, kirsch soaked vanilla, truffle and cedar. There’s a richness to the palate that is pinned perfectly by refined tannins leading to an evolved and magnificent finish. This is big, juicy and balanced claret that 2005 is so famous for.

Chateau Duhart-Milon 2005, Grand Cru Classe Pauillac
£155.00 Buy One of the finest vintages of Duhart-Milon ever produced and drinking exceptionally well. The 2005 has power and intensity that are revealed from behind curtains of elegance. The nose displays a bouquet of truffle, black olive, dark fruit, tobacco and redcurrant. Moving away from the nose and onto the palate, expect velvety tannins and crisp acidity keeping it lively. Towards the end of the palate expect hints of spice and graphite minerality. -
Château d’Armailhac 2005, Grand Cru Classe Pauillac
£129.50 Buy 2005 was a legendary year for Pauillac with hot days and cool nights, lending the wines exceptional concentration and balance. The wine opens up on graphite and leather, followed by notes of ripe blackberry, mocha, tobacco and plum after some time in the glass. The palate is medium bodied, rich and opulent with smooth tannins and a freshness that rounds off the whole experience gracefully.
