A library Pomerol from a legendary vintage, fully mature. La Croix de Saint-Georges is a Janoueix-family Pomerol estate — part of the Joanne / Janoueix portfolio that has long worked the right bank with a steady, traditional hand. 2005 was a phenomenal Bordeaux vintage across the board, the kind that produced wines built for the long haul; twenty years on, the wines from the well-run Pomerol estates are now arriving in their full drinking window. This bottling shows the unctuous Merlot-led Pomerol texture turned silken with age, dried black plum and red cherry braided with truffle, mocha, sweet tobacco, leather, and warm earth. A mature, balanced, complete library Pomerol from one of the modern era's great Right Bank vintages. Drink over the next several years.

Robert Parker

95 points

"A fabulous wine made by young proprietor Jean-Philippe Janoueix, with the assistance of the celebrated oenologist, Michel Rolland, this 12-acre estate (not far from Vieux-Chateau-Certan and Le Pin) has produced an inky/purple-tinged 2005 offering a gorgeous bouquet of spring flowers, blackberry and blueberry liqueur, espresso roast, chocolate, cedar, and spice box. High tannin, sensational richness, and a multilayered mouthfeel are the result of a blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. This gorgeous, opulent Pomerol should be ready to drink in 4-5 years." —Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Wine Spectator

92 points

"Shows blackberry, chocolate and vanilla aromas. Full-bodied, with beautiful tannins and wonderful, juicy fruit. Firm and structured. Voluptuous, but very toned. Best after 2011."
