Château Haut-Bergey Pessac-Léognan red 2005 :

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2007 : 91/100 RVF. 

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Robert M. Parker, Jr, June 2015) : 90/100. Charcoal, espresso roast, blackcurrants and spice are all present in this medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, relatively evolved and precocious Haut-Bergey, which is just now attaining its plateau of maturity. Soft tannins and an attractive plushness are followed by a wine capable of drinking well for another decade or more.
