Just noticed Parker's scores. Very interesting. Seems like he's giving it an overall positive review, with some reservations.

"At present, comparisons with other vintages are cheap talk designed to inflate prices, especially comparisons of 2005 to 1949, 1959, 1982, and 1990. One thing I am sure of after twenty-eight years of tasting Bordeaux wines every March is that 2005 can not be compared to any previous vintage in my experience. Why?

One can safely generalize that many 2005 red Bordeaux possess (1) the highest tannin levels ever measured, (2) the highest dry extracts and concentration ever measured, (3) the highest natural alcohol levels ever measured, and, an anomaly, (4) surprisingly fresh, lively acid levels and reasonably modest pH’s."

Have the tasted any of the wines from the 2005 vintage in barrel?

I have tasted 2 from the right bank.

The word Tannin is an understatement.
