Very much closed at first, but opened a treat, with cedar, spice rack, cigar box & dry cassis on the nose. Precise palate, with dusty tannins & savoury acids, combining in a texturally scrumptious finish with an aroma that reminded me of the mulberries picked this morning. That said, loved that it wasn't super fruity. '05 being warm, was worried but this would be a cooked jam #redwine, but rather, it was succulent without having the clumsy, cloying sweetness found in some wines.
