"Aromas of meat, black licorice and blackberry. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. - J.S." 92-94 Points - Wine Spectator
"Unquestionably the best example of Bellisle-Mondotte (which lives in the shadow of its neighbor, La Mondotte) I have yet tasted, the 2005 exhibits a deep ruby/purple color along with sweet black fruit notes interwoven with new oak, licorice, and loamy soil undertones. Medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic, fresh, lively, and vibrant, it will provide enjoyable drinking over the next 15 years." - 89-91 Points - Robert Parker
