The wine of the night! Head to head with five other high end 2005 Cabernet Sauvignons! Absolutely beautiful expression of CS. Went with everything we ate and was the clear winner in a blind tasting with Chateau Montelena, Robert Mondavi Oakville (finished second), Regusci Angelo's Vineyard, Beringer Private Reserve, and Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste. Not too often that a group can taste this many wines blind and choose a clear winner! Way to go David Ramey, again!! — 8 years ago
Delightful, with a complexity surprising for its age making it a real bargain. 2010 vintage — 9 years ago
Purchased from Millisime in Beaune, France and enjoyed for my 24th birthday. — 10 years ago
Great fruit on nose. Slight salami and lots of ripe raspberry and a hint of blueberry. Slight tanned leather. Very good concentration of fruit on pallette with a nice long finish which displays great balance of med tannin acids, and fruit. Hint of sage. More notes l8r — 11 years ago

Nice dessert wine. Sauternes after a great dinner of grouper, saffron rice and summer salad, wonderful pairing. Carmel bouquet, with thick long lasting legs. Peach and rose petal notes. — 7 years ago
This is not only the best Bordeaux I've come across in this price range of around $10, but one of the best wines at that price point from anywhere. Wonderfully balanced in every way excellent fruit and wood. It's a fantastic quaffer and plays well with food which tonight was lasagna. — 7 years ago
Très belle découverte moins de 11 euros aux docks de Biarritz. A re-découvrir 😉 — 7 years ago
The 'Nicole Kidman vintage' according to Bruno Borie. The reputation here with grape selection is evident; its tightly wound but really no hard edges. The new oak aromatics pervade for atleast the 1st hour, but it's sort of regal rather than gaudy. Firm black fruits, medium body, and some incense and leather on the finish. Silky tannins, lots of finesse for a young Cabernet dominant blend. — 8 years ago

Mom and Dad bought this 2006 wine in 2009 (for $60 euros) from the Lacoste winery Bouches du Rhone region when they came to visit me. We just opened it (2014), afraid it might have sat too long, but it hadn't. It was unbelievable. Smooth, earthy, peppery, light but full; the mineral notes transported me back. The kind if wine I will dream about until I go back someday. — 10 years ago

I adore this wine. Still do - love the smoky hot stones and meaty plushness of the fruit and tannins. This was my second bottle. — 9 years ago

The Bordeaux I've had over the last six months has, I must admit, left me sceptical as to why Bordeaux is so brilliant. With the exceptions of Chateau La Cardonne 2003 and Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste 2001, much of the Bordeaux I've had has left me disappointed. This bottle however reaffirmed to me the beauty of the region. Just an astonishingly good wine - 2005 of course being an excellent vintage - whose only let-down lay in my not opening the bottle a few years later; the wine would definitely benefit from a good five to ten years' more age, to soften the tannins and allow a longer finish. I am however being fussy. It was fantastic. — 11 years ago
