Château Kirwan 2005 in 6er Holzkiste

Lobenberg: Nahezu schwarz mit sehr dunkel violettem Rand. Berauschend süße Nase nach schwarzer Frucht, viel Brombeere, etwas Schokolade, ein Hauch von Teer. Im Mund wunderbare Harmonie. Schönes Zusammenspiel von Frucht, Holz und dezenter Säure. Extrem geschliffenes, sattes Tannin. Der Wein zeigt viel Rasse, mittleren Körper und eine schöne Länge. 93-94/100

Parker: Here we go again! This extraordinary wine is the greatest Kirwan made since some of the estate's historic offerings of the mid-1800s. An inky/black/purple color accompanies a gorgeous perfume of incense, creme de cassis, licorice, and subtle wood. It boasts thrilling levels of richness, full body, layers of concentration, high glycerin as well as tannin, and a fabulous 60-second finish. This compelling effort possesses 50 or more years of aging potential. Kudos to Sophie Schyler, the charming proprietress who gave such a graceful performance while under attack in the disingenuous movie Mondovino. 92/100
