"Burgundy-like in that it's packed with mouthwateringly ripe and buttery stone fruit, and is practically bursting at the seams, yet lime peel and mineral notes keep it from becoming a caricature of richness." 95 points - Wine News, March/April/May 2007
"Dry and intense. There’s an impression of higher acidity to this, marshaling the pure grapefruit, peach, spice and mineral notes to a long conclusion, with a dry, mineral salt aftertaste. From vines more than 40 years old. Best from 2008 through 2020." 93 points - Wine Spectator Insider, August 22, 2007
"Pale yellow-gold. Musky aromas of ripe apricot, smoked meat and minerals. Silky in texture and superrich but downright steely today. Very dry (less than three grams of r.s.) and unforgiving wine, and yet this seems purer and finer than the 2004. I wouldn't think about pulling a cork for at least three or four years, if not considerably longer than that. Humbrecht noted that both the '04 and '05 Rangens are much drier than the rieslings he produced from this grand cru vineyard in many earlier vintages." 90+ points - Stephen Tanzer's Int'l Cellar (July 2007)
