Bouchard Pere & Fils, Chapelle Chambertin Grand Cru 2005

"A 2005 Chapelle-Chambertin offers a nose of blackberries with herb- and spice-accented charred and roasted lamb. Persistently sappy and smoky, this really sticks to the gums and finishes with impressive smoky, salty, meaty yet always generously black-fruited intensity." – Wine Advocate

"Dark, bright red. Brooding aromas and flavors of black fruits, pepper and dark chocolate. Lush and sweet on the palate but can't quite match the Bonnes-Mares for depth or energy. Finishes with very round tannins for the vintage, although the medicinal black cherry fruit suggests that this wine will shut down in the bottle." – Vinous
