Big and brawny--what you would expect from the vintage. But plenty of balanced acidity for such a monster. Delicious w/ butter poached lobster.

2005. I'm so glad we were able to keep our hands off this for a few years.

Une tuerie : direct dans le top 5 des blancs que j’ai bu dans ma vie…Difficile à décrire tellement c’es riche et complexe. Un must-drink, même pour les peignes-culs du genre « oui mais moi j’aime pas trop le blanc ».
