Very different from 2004 vintage tasted about a year ago three times here . This vintage has less acidity, more structure and slight residual sugar when compared to 2004.
P.S. I will add the pic later when photo is taken so far refer to 2004 label here. the only difference is the vintage, higher contain of sugar in grapes (selection of berries vs. late harvest) and golden medal for 2005 vs silver for 2004. Village and vineyard is the same.
