Fitted with a screw cap and drank next to the 2004 with cork. Green hints, water white with a medium nose of citrus, melons, lime and grapefruit. Medium body, medium plus intensity, medium-to-medium plus acidity. More grass, herbs, citrus, minerals and melons on the palate. Balanced, with a lot of freshness compared to the 2004. Drink, no need to hold.

Jason - Tried this as well Sunday and like it quite a bit. It doesn't suprise me that prefer 2005 it was a much better vintage as evidenced by the 2005's I have tried. Also, they are so much more vibrant within a year after release, they can be enjoyable as they age a little bit but very different as they seem to pick up more herbal flavors and lose some fruit.
