From a first class private cellar, the wine has resided there since the subscription arrived in 2008.
René Gabriel has meanwhile lifted him to 19/20 points.
Apart from 2009, 2005 is probably the greatest vintage of the noughties in Bordeaux. Incredibly voluminous and powerful wines with a lot of substance were produced. Most are now ready to drink, like this excellent Giscours.
