Score 90/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2006

Reticent but complex aromas of citrus peel, peach, fresh hay and marzipan. Juicy and tightly wound, with excellent intensity of citrus fruits and ripe peachy acidity. Here's a 2005 that comes across as distinctly less exotic than the 2004 version.

Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2008-2018, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2006

Mealy, quite rich. Slightly less exciting than the Montée de Tonnerre! Broad and rich though slightly less 'typical'. (JR)
