Opened the first night and not impressed, was closed but the following night it opened and morphed into a wonderful balanced wine with cocoa notes in the nose, full body and great finish. — 9 months ago

Chewy ripe tannins, sour cherry and dried cranberries, wet leather and graphite? — 10 years ago
Going back in time for this one. Let it sit a little and it opened right up. — 8 months ago
Initially tannic but this is full bodied and lush as it opened up — 9 months ago
Pipeau is an early foray into 2005 for me. Not a bad place to start. Very round structure. Full fruit with stewed plum, black cherry, slate, hint of mint. A little dry on the finish. Will mellow in the next few years. — 9 years ago
Sweet vanillin, dried red fruits, still quite fresh and clean, medium-bodied, resolved tannins, but the bright acidity really carries this into a long, lingering finish, my wife’s favorite Bordeaux, alas only a few more bottles left in the cellar!! — 8 months ago
Beautiful, quintessential nose! Silky and balanced from start to finish. Not trying to be too bold but it doesn’t disappear either. Truly enjoyable Bordeaux and I would absolutely buy it again — 9 months ago
