Chateau La Cabanne, Pomerol

Très beau nez super fruité, très ouvert, vraiment interessant

2005 vintage

Smoke, matchstick, burnt sage and cedar aromatics…plum, tart blackberry, underripe blue fruit with tannin and plenty of life - would have been amazing with tenderloin or lamb chops.

2009 vintage

This bottle was much better than the one i rated a couple of years ago. Nice black fruit, good concentration, and well integrated fruit, oak, with some tertiary aromas and flavours. Medium(+) finish. Be aware of some bottle variation. Based on this bottle, now rush to drink up the remaining stock.

2005 vintage

This showed really well, had one over a year ago that I didn't appreciate this much. Terroir on nose together with just a little Brett that added something to this wine. Tannins are still holding up, so this can probably run for another 10 years.

2009 vintage

Fermé au départ, le vin va commencer à s'ouvrir après une heure environ. Sur les noyaux de cerises avec un peu de cuir. Pas super expressif ni très complexe, mais démontre quand même une belle élégance. Plutôt cher pour le rendu tout de même.

2009 vintage

Very nice. Enjoyed together with Gitte and Klaus skiing I Åre, with beef

2005 vintage

Bu au resto AVV La Maison Chez Nous de Bromont pour la fête de Mario et Guy. Élégant et raffiné mais peu complexe. Prunes et cerises avec de la terre et un peu d`herbes. La tannins sont fins et la finale plutôt courte est sur les minéraux.

2009 vintage

Having personally known this property and its proprietor for a long time, I was predisposed to think highly of this wine, but my bias was unable to persuade me that we have anything extraordinary here. Nice juicy, plummy fruit and good bitterish tannic backbone, with some pleasant savory notes, but nothing particularly noteworthy. Nor do I think time will do much for it, although I would recommend keeping for a few years on the off chance. There are many Merlots …

2009 vintage

Game and mushroom is the 'game'. Ultra smooth and settled, almost to a fault. A little chocolate mid palate. The gamey lining is uber classy. WOTN. (BKK Tasting 'Right vs Left')

2009 vintage

Un 2005 ? Wow ! Encore plusieurs années de vie pour ce vin. Pleins de petits fruits rouges viennent remplir le palais. Une belle longueur, Que du plaisir !

2005 vintage

Disappointing. Not like I experienced before (my 12th bottle). Does not seem to be over the top really, but just dull and uninspiring.

2005 vintage

Time has been good to this wine. Showing much better than it did 7 years ago, today, you find a mature, silky, elegant, medium-bodied, earthy, plummy wine with a bit of truffle and a soft, refined finish. This is not a long ager, so I would opt for drinking this over the next 7 years or so. No decanting needed. Just pop, pour and enjoy.

2009 vintage

Bricking in color, the perfume is the best part of the wine due to its blend of tobacco, herbs, forest leaf and smoky red berries. Medium-bodied, with a red cherry dominated finish that was accompanied by metallic notes. Drink this sooner than later.

1989 vintage

Underwhelming, expected more from 2005 legendary vintage

2005 vintage

Dark purple in color. Notes of cherry, tobacco, green pepper and leather. Dry, med body, med acidity and grippy tannins. Wine shows best with food.

2009 vintage

Assez bien fait, bel équilibre, légère évolution mais aucune émotion.

2005 vintage

Super drinkable right now. Terrific for a nice weekday dinner. Good value.

2009 vintage

It's ok; slightly dry, a bit thin. Past its prime, somewhat boring.

2005 vintage

Sehr guter, feiner, typischer, reifer (on top?) Bordeaux des alten Stils. Wohl gut lagerfähig bis 2025.

2009 vintage

Decanted over three days. Nose of dark fruit and palate to match. One dimensional but pleasing, shortish finish. Third day had slight anise in the finish, but only slight. Enjoyable but not for price point as recently purchased.

2009 vintage

Black fruit and toast. Good balance. Ready to drink.

2009 vintage

La Cabanne's 2005 iteration is a deep red/garnet blend of 92% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. Although the latter grape injects a substantial green/minty element, there is still enough Montmorency cherry and red currant fruit from the Merlot to make this wine, now 14 years of age, quite enjoyable. Accented with notes of tobacco, espresso and loamy earth, it is a medium-bodied offering with seamless alcohol (13.5%) and well-integrated oak. At this point the tannins are light-to-medium in weight but …

2005 vintage

Quite decent Pomerol. Still going strong for another 3-4 years.

2005 vintage

Hints of black licorice, fennel, and anise, this wine is still very drinkable, even though it’s slightly past it’s prime. Color is just slightly bricky. Still needs 10 minutes in the glass to fully open up. Did not disappoint.

2005 vintage

Mature, easy drinking, plummy wine, with a light truffle accent to the red plum core of fruit. Round, with a bit of rusticity in the texture, this medium bodied wine shows a touch of green leafy notes in the red berry finish. Drink this over the next few years, as it is only going to fade from there.

2005 vintage

Color with decidedly less brick than I expected. Astringent. Decanted for 1.5 hours. Never improved. Rather blah. Disappointed overall. My impression seems to conform with others.

2005 vintage

Bitter, dark chocolate with black cherries and robust tannin. Don't know what to think about this one. It either needs a few hours of air, or is drying out and won't be getting any better.

2005 vintage

Needs time to open

2005 vintage

Regarding as 2005 wine, still a very good wine

2005 vintage

Tasting well now. Very earthy and astringent/tannic with dark fruits, stone and dried fruits.

2005 vintage

Full, dark garnet colour. Evolving berry, leather, dried flowers and mineral on the nose. Dry, medium bodied with elegant integration and a beautiful minerality. Classy and classic. 4.5/5

2009 vintage

not as good as the last bottle, still somewhat of a vinegar component but improves with air, and I don't really see this improving with additional cellar time

2005 vintage

Un excellent Pomerol qui m'a semblé prêt. Tanins veloutés sur du fruit éclatant. Belle longueur et finale nette et élégante. Un très beau vin malheureusement vendu très cher ici...

2005 vintage

(pnp) initially, strong vinegar component set me back, thinking that, this is turning,... immediately decanted ....as it developed with air, into a sumptuous Pomerol, offering a nicely compressed mid palate of crushed ripe dark fruits, with ample nose, and integrated sturdy but soft chewy tannin with a pleasant amount of sediment....very enjoyable

2005 vintage

Classic Pomerol 92/8 Blend, and as amazing as the 2009 vintage is for the majority of the pomerol I am giving it one more point for price performance. Just take a look at the other Grand Vins like Gazin, raising prices by 30% because most pomerols are starting into their drinking window. If you could find a 2009 pomerol that is not good, well they probably have sold their chateau by now.

2009 vintage

Wasn't sure what to expect but I thought this was quite nice. I thought this actually had matured and softened and was ready to go. Smooth currant flavors, nice nose, very drinkable.

2005 vintage

this bottle very tight and shut down.....probably wait another year before opening another

2005 vintage

Classic, if light profile. Underwhelming. Needs 1-2 hours to open up, but even then it's just not special.

2005 vintage

Well integrated and balanced. Just a little bit of heat came through after sitting in the glass for a while. The fruit was rather underscored and I thought the wine was somewhat uninteresting. Nothing offensive at all but no wow factor.

2005 vintage

Duft af røde bær og egetræ, lakrids og vanille. I munden god harmoni frugt- og garvesyre. Lang eftersmag med frugt.

2005 vintage

Black raspberries, wild strawberry and herbs, medium bodied and soft, but not silky, with a cherry dominated finish. This is best enjoyed in its youth as the wine does not have the stuffing for long term aging.

2009 vintage

Dark and ripe, but cool and velvety fruit. Quite elegant given the opulence of the vintage.

2009 vintage

Le Week-end des Grands Crus (Bordeaux) : Very young and great acidity. Wait 3-4 years. Excellent fruit, tobacco, corinths. Very good storing ptential. 93-95

2009 vintage

2009 Bordeaux Shines at 2012 UGC Tasting (Bentley Reserve, San Francisco, California) : Dark ruby color; oak, ripe currant nose; oak, ripe currant, cassis, plum palate; for early drinking; medium finish (92% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc)

2009 vintage

Union des Grand Crus de Bordeaux 2009 Tasting K&L, nose of blackberry, cassis, plum, same on the palate, medium body, tasty, simple, enjoy the next 10 years, medium finish.

2009 vintage

Are you sure?
