Vintage information 2005:

The whites are full and rich, usually with plenty enough acidity to balance - not the mineral tension of the 04s, but then the 04s can sometims seem dilute in comparison.
The reds are usually first-class - this was a vintage to fill your store with great values from Beaune, Savigny, Pommard and Aloxe - it's not very often that you can say that, but most are now sold! Many have closed-up now so will disappoint - wait 10 years!

2005 Potinet-Ampeau, Volnay Carelles Sous la ChapelleOct. 2011
Deep color. The nose starts with very little, but bit-by-bit opens with fruit that’s very 05; intense, certainly ripe but still pure, uncooked fruit – it’s very nice. Mouth-filling but without obvious puffery, just intense, clean and lithe muscle. Good finish – open and captivating. Yum.
