So hard to drink. Searingly hot. Had some soft fruit but giving away to tight dusty tannins. Re eval tomorrow.

Big Tannins, Big fruit, flint and a huge pleasant aftertaste. Araujo might tell you this is a second wine but nothing about it would tell you that. Soooo good!

Nice cork for an 04, considering the dust bowl I created with my 05 Saxum
Parker only gave this a 90 on release. But now definitely a 95-97 depending on your palate.
