Parker about Château Kirwan 2005
A third-growth, this intense, powerful and concentrated wine should play to its strengths in a vintage such as 2005, with its enormous tannin and density. This is one of the more backward of the 2005s, quite masculine, tannic and bold, with a deep ruby/purple color, lots of spice, a touch of wood and new oak as well as a medium to full-bodied, rather backward, tannic mouthfeel. It's all there, and the wine certainly has plenty of concentration, but it needs another 3-5 years of cellaring. It should drink well for at least a quarter of a century.

Château Kirwan 2005
Château Kirwan 2005 is an outstanding wine from the prestigious Margaux appellation in the Bordeaux region of France. As a Third Growth (Troisième Cru) according to the Bordeaux Classification of 1855, it carries the heritage and quality of this renowned wine region.
The 2005 vintage is widely considered exceptional, and Château Kirwan 2005 reflects this with its complexity and depth. On the nose, it presents an opulent bouquet of ripe black fruits such as cassis, blackberries, and plums, accompanied by elegant notes of cedar, tobacco, and a hint of undergrowth. On the palate, the wine displays impressive structure with silky tannins, lively acidity, and remarkable concentration. The finish is long, balanced, and intense, with lingering aromas of dark berries and a hint of spice.
Château Kirwan 2005 has evolved since its bottling and is now at optimal drinking maturity. With ideal storage (cool and dark), it can be enjoyed for many years and continue to develop its complex aromas. Decanting the wine before consumption is recommended to best experience its aromas.
This fascinating wine pairs perfectly with refined dishes such as leg of lamb, duck breast, or mature hard cheeses. Its deep structure and complex flavors make it an ideal companion for discerning palates. Château Kirwan 2005 is a striking example of the quality and terroir of the Margaux appellation and will delight lovers of mature Bordeaux wines alike.
