2005 Vouvray Clos Naudin Moulleux

Smelling intensely of pear and quince, citrus and flowers, the Foreau 2005 Vouvray Moelleux comes to the palate with baked pear, quince jelly, almond, and honey, soft in texture, with a note of fresh lime juxtaposed with a hint of caramelization in the finish. While not possessed of the elegance and complexity of the demi-sec, it is early days for this wine, which can certainly be retained for at least the next 10-12 years.
