Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Sep 2007
Very ripe aromas of peach and apricot. Thick, large-scaled and very ripe but classically dry, with explosive mid-palate richness of fruit. This is fatter than the '06 but a bit less refined. Finishes with highly persistent stone fruit and spice flavors. These 2005 grand crus need a minimum of five or six years of cellaring.

Score 92-95/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Jul 2006
(14.1% alcohol) Bright yellow. Subdued but pure aromas of citrus and stone fruits, hazelnut and nut oils. Chewy, large-scaled and sweet, with expressive flavors of peach, apricot and nut oils. A huge wine with almost exotic sweetness and great length, as well as strong backbone. Always the highest in alcohol along with Batard and Combettes, notes Girardin.
