I've always believed in the ageability of this cuvee and it's great to see that demonstrated time and time again. The 2005 Esprit de Beaucastel Blanc is another full-bodied white from the Tables Creek team that has texture and richness, while staying fresh, lively and pure. Notes of buttered citrus, crushed rocks, lemon oil, juniper and flower oil all emerge from this beautiful white that will continue to evolve gracefully for another 5-10 years. - Jeb Dunnuck
