Robert Parker – THE WINE ADVOCATE: 92-95 /100 – “While perhaps not up to the standards of the extraordinary 2003, the 2005 is still a strong effort from an estate that has been doing everything right over the last two decades. Sweet toasty oak intermixed with jammy black currant, plum, and licorice aromas jump from the glass of this dense purple-hued wine. In the mouth, there is great fruit, tannin, body, structure, and delineation. This impressively endowed, well made St-Julien will require considerable patience (as will most 2005 northern Medocs). Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030+”
