Another excellent vintage for Bordeaux's dry whites, which tend to be vastly underrated and exceptionally long-lived (30-40 years in some cases). The 2005s possess crisp acidity as well as serious weight, richness, and texture. Space constraints did not allow full tasting notes, but this is one of the top 2005 dry white Bordeaux wines. 96-98 points - Robert Parker
Pale green-tinged color. Aromas of lime ice, pineapple, lanolin and honey. Very fresh, penetrating and tight, with flavors of dried pineapple and crystallized citrus peel further brightened by a cool, minty nuance. Despite the wine's strong citrus and lime leaf character and lively acids, there's plenty of opulence underneath. 92-95 pointsST
