Continued wanting to taste more 2005's so that I can decide what I want beyond the first few selections.

This was priced right for everyday drinking so I picked one up. Golden hay with a tiny hint of green. Nice fragrant nose, with some floral scents and lemon. On the palate, the lemon and white peach comes up in a nicely smooth wine but the high acidity (perhaps just a hint too hight as my teeth felt it) immediately comes in afterwards. Crisp with tonnes of minerals, granite, slate coming afterwards. Nice persistence after. Good drinking for about $12.

Good price for a nice M-S-R. Would expect the acidity to mellow with a year or so cellar time. Sounds like one to pick up by the case and sample over time.

It's on my potential list! Gotta get through a few more of them first. I've never had this brand before (like I've never had 99% of the brands out there either but..) so it was definitely worth at least a try.
