The usual brilliant, clean light yellow colour. Typical closed nose initially which quickly heats up in the glass to offer musk, apricot and spiced orange. Warm, potent and a big contrast compared to the same wine in 2004. Represents the warm 2005 vintage well. Final nose of nutmeg and vanilla laced with rich lemon. Gesticulating towards white truffles and a sensual-satirical John Donne sonnet in 3 years time. Rich, weighty... neigh fat apricot fruit. Medium to low acidity. A really rich flattering style similar to 1998. The photo shows Olivier Lamy, son of Hubert Lamy, waxing lyrical about his 2005s outside the domaine in May 2006.
