A very nice bottle. Quite fragrant, almost like roses or some other flowers along with melon and possibly lemon scented nuance. Nice mouth feel, good acidity and went really well with my French onion soup. Likely to be near its peak.

Winestreet Tastes France and Italy (including 04 Mouton, 03 Chapelle, 05 Girardin, and 02 Lalande): Very pale yellow. The nose is reserved but offers an enticing tropical fruit profile with good minerality. On the palate I found this very rough -- quite a contrast with the preceding wines. The flavors are mouth coating with fresh fruit and mineral. Maybe a bit more fruit than was present in the 2004s, but also a bit more one-dimensional at this point.

Winestreet Does France and Italy (Kozlak's, North Oaks, MN): Pale gold color. Tropical fruit, kiwi, and tangerines. Less oaky than the 2004 Darviot-Perrin wines in the lineup. Nice.
