Ripe, oppulent with peach, papaya, apricot puree, with a sort of kiwi zip to it; entry is soft and creamy but quickly turns to meringue lightness with incredible intensity of flavor, good acidity but not as precise, and less acid than the '04. Powerful and long; further tasting revealed lemon curd, chalky minerality, extremely fine mousse, and a super very long finish. Although the ripeness was not what some were expecting, this clearly is a great wine, maybe will not be as long lived as the '04, but pretty much blew me away. With Jerome Jacoillot of Krug at Effervescence.
