Great liquid minerals, excellent acid, buffered with just a hint of that 2005 fat. A rather exceptional bottle that tastes half its age. Quite intense and powerful and not at all flabby as some 05s are prone to. My score is probably conservative.

This nose is fairly quiet, dry wood spice. Palate is green and yellow orchard fruit, ripe fruit without much acid or mineral cut. Very subtle. Not flashy or showy, pure, somewhat straightforward, but elegant. Have yet to be blown away by one of these.
