Celebrating 15 years since Holly and I first met each other at a rather life changing Super Bowl party. This 2005 Henriot is not life changing...but it’s is quite good. Cellared since release, it has held up quite well. The color is a striking gold with a persistent mousse. Slightly oxidative, I would categorize this as leaning towards the richer end of the spectrum with lemon curd, nuts and a light touch of brioche. Actually, it sort of reminded me of an English lemon tart. Zippy. Anyway, it was tasty and it hit the spot. You could hold these longer for sure but I would probably just drink’em now as I don’t anticipate and further positive development.

Rich and fruity! Candied lemon peel, dried apricots, toast, minerals, hint of butter. Delicious

Deep yellow, elegant mousse, fruit, toast, almonds, good acids, long finish. A beauty.

Green apple, lemon zest, as it opens up some toasted brioche notes enter. Supple texture
