Deep colour and delicate bouquet, as well as a softness typical of Pomerol and a generous, powerful side reminiscent of Saint-Émilion. These are the hallmarks of the wines of Château Le Bon Pasteur. Writing in 2016, the critic James Suckling describes the wine as follows, "Fresh and firm with dark berry, dark chocolate and walnut aromas and flavors. Full and very racy. Needs time to come together."

Vinous
Brightruby-red. Captivating nose offers floral red fruits, licorice, minerals and coffee, plus a suggestion of hard candy. Dense, backward and powerful, with an impression of elevated alcohol but very good flavor definition. A very fresh and primary style of 2005, still a bit youthfully aggressive but with the inky dark fruit and torrefaction flavors to support a slow evolution in bottle. Today the wine's sweetness is under wraps and the alcohol and tannins are to the fore. This will need patience.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2008
