  Wine Enthusiast
  "A beautiful, pure wine that combines freshness and intense richness. It seems to float while still giving a huge mouthful of plums, coffee and sweet, juicy tannins. A straight line of pure flavor all the way to the finish."

  Decanter
  "A bottle of the 2005 Clos des Lambrays from a private cellar demonstrated Thierry Brouin's success with the warm conditions. He delivered a wine that shows power and elegance simultaneously, with a well-developed black cherry fruit character, an intriguing yet discreet earthy, savoury note, and a pleasant hint of liquorice spice at the end. The structure is still firm and dense. Although it is drinking well now, it should continue to improve with more time in the cellar."

  Wine Spectator
  " A red of purity and suppleness. Reveals a dense core of cherry, spice and mineral aromas and flavors allied to a firm structure, while great energy propels this to a long, lingering aftertaste. A combination of power and finesse. Best from 2014 through 2030. 425 cases imported."

  "Komplexe Nase: Wildkräuter, Feuerstein, Minze, dunkle Beeren. Am Gaumen noch etwas verschlossen, braucht viel Luft, um seine Opulenz zu entladen. Dicht, konzentriert, elegant, mit grossem Entwicklungspotenzial. Wer ihm Zeit gibt, wird sich über einen grossen Wein freuen können."

  Burghound
  "A much more deeply pitched nose of dark berry fruit, spice, earth, a hint of animale and an overlay of obvious minerality complements perfectly the rich, full and sweet broad-scaled yet elegant flavors that are solidly structured and firm on the detailed and wonderfully intense finish. This powerful, long and serious vintage of Clos des Lambrays is built for the medium plus term, which is to say out to 20 years of improvement followed by another 20 of plateau."

  Jancis Robinson
  "On the nose it is still unformed but on the palate there is real depth and potential – without too much tannin despite the vintage and rank. Extremely serious and dry (as opposed to sweet) but reverberant and suggestive of a very bright future. But even 2020 may be too early to open it to optimise enjoyment."

  The Wine Advocate
  "Served from magnum, the 2005 Clos des Lambrays Grand Cru offers up a youthfully reserved bouquet of raspberries, cassis, creamy new oak and espresso roast. On the palate, the wine is beginning to unwind, as it's much less closed than it was when I last tasted it three years ago, displaying good concentration and depth at the core, a fine-grained tannic chassis and a long, generous finish. This ranks as the finest Clos des Lambrays between the 1970s and the 2010, and in a couple more years it will begin to drink in style."
