Wine Advocate (93)From a special 7.5 acre parcel culled from the Bienfaisance vineyard, this 1,000-case cuvee is dominated by its Merlot component (the blend also includes some Cabernet Franc). As are most of St.-Emilion’s garigiste wines, it is given a Burgundian-like treatment of pre-fermentation cold maceration, malolactic in barrel, aging on its lees, and little clarification, all designed to accentuate the terroir, and enhance the wine’s texture and perfume. The stunningly perfumed 2005 offers up notions of toast, black cherry jam, blackberries, espresso roast, white chocolate, and juicy meat. It is full-bodied as well as opulent for the vintage, with a gorgeous texture, and a long, 35+ second finish. Consume it over the next 15 or more years. |

The Wine Independent (99)The 2005 Smith Haut Lafitte rouge is a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. Medium to deep garnet-brick in color, it slips confidently out of the glass with notes of creme de cassis, baked plums, cracked black pepper, and pencil shavings, plus wafts of sandalwood and licorice. The medium to full-bodied palate is plush and juicy, featuring soft acidity and a long, beautifully poised finish. In a sweet spot for drinking now, this can cellar a further 20 years+. |

Wine Enthusiast (94)93-95 Barrel sample. Huge black currant flavors, very ripe fruit, but also a great sense of balance, of proportion that give this wine both charm and impressiveness. It's going to age seriously, and well. |

Wine Advocate (88)Reminiscent of a mini-Grand Puy Lacoste with its cassis fruit, attractive aromatics, lush, sweet, medium-bodied flavors, and inky/ruby/purple color, the 2005 Tour St.-Bonnet sells for a fraction of the price of the Grand-Puy-Lacoste. But beggars can’t be that choosy, right? Drink it over the next 5-7 years. |

Wine Advocate (93)Owned by the Castéja family, Trottevieille has one parcel of some of the oldest vines in St.-Emilion. Dense purple, the 2005 is better at age 10 then earlier. The wine has beautiful blueberry, plum and blackcurrant fruit, an attractive underlying minerality, medium to full body, sweet tannin, and a long, layered, complex finish. Drink it over the next 15-20 years. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (100)The 2005 Valandraud is off the charts. Easily one of the wines of the vintage, the 2005 Valandraud possesses tremendous richness from start to finish. Moreover, it has aged exquisitely. Inky red fruit, iron, smoke, dried herbs, menthol, licorice and blood orange infuse the 2005 with striking layers of nuance to play off all that unctuous fruit. This full-throttle Saint-Émilion is a prodigious effort from Jean-Luc Thunevin and Murielle Andraud. |

The Villemaurine 2005 is an exquisitely crafted Bordeaux wine from the vintage's famous limestone plateau. This rich, full-flavoured wine from the Saint-Emilion region of France showcases the mastery of Château Villemaurine's winemaking process. Known for its distinctive terroir engrained on the palate, this exceptional red blend marries Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes, harvested from vines aged 30 to 40 years. Displaying graceful elegance, the Villemaurine 2005 offers a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, enhanced by delightful hints of spices and truffle. Remarkable for its balance and profound depth, this wine is likewise characterised by its velvety texture and durable finish. Its depth, potency and structure are testaments to the specific 2005 growing conditions and meticulous vinification. Evoking French tradition and precision, the Villemaurine 2005 is bottled excellence, encapsulating the essence of Bordeaux in each sip. Notes of ripe plums and cherries, enwrapped in a soft blanket of velvety tannins, render this vintage irresistibly delectable. |
