Baked apple and cinnamon notes on the nose fail to carry all the way through, as the wine turns crisp and a bit metallic on the finish. Atypically austere for a wine from such a warm vintage. ——W.E.(11/15/2006)—— 85

From the village in which Prosper Maufoux is based, this is a wine the company takes special pride in. It’s nutty, but also fresh citrusy, and more vibrant and alive than the 2003. Despite ample weight and forward apple and citrus flavors, it shows plenty of minerality on the long finish. ——W.E.(11/15/2006)—— 88
