What the critics say

92 VMVinous, Stephen Tanzer, 01-03-2008

Deep red-ruby. Blackberry, licorice, minerals, bitter chocolate and earth on the nose. Large-scaled and sweet, but with a medicinal reserve giving it a slightly taut and very youthful quality. Aromatic in the mouth despite conveying an impression of elevated alcohol (in fact it's 14%) and fairly gripping on the back end. But I also find some distinctly superripe notes on the finish, as well as a hint of dusty tannins. Forey loves this wine, but I'm not yet convinced. The pH here is 3.6, high for this vintage chez Forey.

92+ WAWine Advocate, David Schildknecht, 30-04-2007

A 2005 Clos Vougeot smells reminiscent of grilled lamb, with ripe black cherry, cassis, and tobacco. Dark, somber flavors persist on the very meaty palate, with bitter herbs, fruit skin and cherry pit inflections. This infiltrates every corner of the mouth with fine tannin, offering a sedate finish clearly informed by enormous extract. It was bottled especially recently and I think the finish will have more to offer in a matter of weeks. But the long-term prognosis is for 10-12 years without a parole tasting. At the time of my visit, Regis Forey had only recently (with one exception noted below) bottled his 2005s – unfiltered, and with very low levels of sulfur. These are a profoundly-satisfying, and ageworthy group of wines, but not at all showy. Forey was not timid with extraction when it came to this vintage; on the other hand he was one of several growers who told me he had recently lightened up on the use of new wood, and one of several to employ a significant number of 500 liter (double barrique) barrels to diminish the stave surface to wine volume ratio and enhance freshness. Forey’s line-up has been significantly enhanced in recent years by rental agreements.
