2005 Domaine des Baumard Coteaux du Layon Clos de Sainte Catherine

(96 Points)  --  (Wine Spectator)

Rich and ripe, with glazed fruit, apple tartine and fig paste notes backed by a rich texture and a long, creamy finish, where the lingering fig and green almond notes keep pulling you back. Combines power and precision. Drink now through 2027. (JM)   Review Date: 05/2007
