(barrel sample) Tasted in April 2005. Unstable weather during summer with hail and long harvest with outbreak of sour botrytis made it difficult to produce a wine, which could live up to standards at de Fargues. There was however deep and intense noble rot, finesse and elegance, some nuances and nice aftertaste. But hardly an exceptional vintage, because it lacked concentration and length, when tasted. We hope it will improve when in bottle.
