"Deeply pitched aromas of orange confit, burnt sugar, vanillin, spice and honey are so attractive. The 2005 is rich and viscous on the palate, but not at all heavy. Its balance is simply marvelous." 

Deeply pitched aromas of orange confit, burnt sugar, vanillin, spice and honey are so attractive. The 2005 is rich and viscous on the palate, but not at all heavy. Its balance is simply marvelous.

"The stunning bouquet is a blend of orange, apple, pineapple, beautiful chalky soil tones and white flowers. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, very deep and seamless, with beautiful, brisk, framing acids, outstanding mid-palate depth and haunting balance and focus on the very, very long and primary finish." 

"Confit fruit with a note of truffle that comes through as well. Real power here again – seems to be the signature of Le Mont. Drive and persistence. Rich but fresh at the same time." 

"... rich in the scents of lightly candied fruits, along with toasted almond praline, dried fruits, sweet fig and grilled apricot, the evolution as well as the sweetness of the fruit showing through. The palate has a lovely texture and weight, with golden pear, praline and toast, underpinned by a pithy energy and great acidity. A style which is fresh, full, broad and very complete. Very long too. Great for drinking now, but clearly it has a few decades in it yet."
