63% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark fruit, cassis, charcoal, cedar, iodine, brett, tobacco, and chocolate, with a damp truffle edge. Still noticeably backward after an hour, but starting to ease up a little.

Breezy meaty hibiscus smell, with some rose as well, a flat purple color that is pretty thick but not inky, taste is woody and the fruit has sugar but is kind of falling into the woodiness of it, tannins are quite heavy and sits atop the acids that are quite present as well, the fruit is blackberry, blueberry and slight boysenberry. Taste sits but then fades at a medium rate

Pair of 05’s tonight! Both have improved since my last visit with them.

So I've had a few vintages of this wine. Not been happy with them. But this 05, the first one made, is good. Bought on futures. At 11 years it's showing almost the right amount of age. I'd say drink in next 5 years. Well worth under 50 bucks. I think I paid 40.
