Score 88/100 · Drink 2021-2025, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2021
The 2005 Petit Bocq has aged nicely, but it is also fully mature. Sweet dried cherry, iron, mint, earthiness, gravel and dried herbs all grace this mid-weight Saint-Estèphe. I would prefer to drink it over the next few years, before the fruit fades entirely.

A fruit-driven St.-Estèphe, which is somewhat unusual for the vintage, the 2005 Petit Bocq has attractive, ripe black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, a distinctive earthiness, medium body and relatively soft but moderate tannins. Drink it over the next decade.

Good energy on the nose. Lots of acidity but very lively. Fruity attack. A very agreeable, competently made second-rank wine without the fruit intensity of a long life. (JR)
