95+ Points - John Gilman:  The 2005 vintage at Moulin Touchais was a botrytis year in the vineyards and the domaine feels this is destined to be one of the great classic years for the wine. At age ten, it is certainly very, very impressive, offering up a still fairly youthful, but deep and pure bouquet of white peach, quince, honeycomb, chalky soil tones, acacia blossoms and am esthery topnote of bee pollen. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and beautifully glazed, with a great core, superb focus and grip and crisp acids on the very, very long and complex finish. This is still a baby and is probably a good dozen years away from really starting to mature, but it is awfully easy to drink already and clearly will be one of the legendary vintages of Moulin Touchais in the fullness of time. 2015-2065.

94 Points - Wine Spectator:  Ripe and unctuous in feel, featuring creamed peach, mango and guava notes gliding throughout. Stays bright and defined thanks to well-inlaid chamomile and salted butter accents. There's a flattering feel through the finish, with a light marzipan hint starting to creep in. This is just beginning to open up and should cruise for quite some time. Drink now through 2040.
