Rim is still ruby and clear, nose has lost the fruit but palate still gets some dark fruit. Good Balance of tannins and alcohol. Drink now as heading past prime.

Enjoyed the 2004 with my brother and wife shortly after they moved to Louisville. He pulled this from the dozens of cases he had moved here. We loved its suave, dark fruitiness. It was perfect with our assorted cheeses, bread, and salamis. Only one bottle. Damn!
