Big tannins. Shows the vintage. Not sure the fruit will hold up over time.

2006 - Decanted and fortunately stored well. Tobacco, smoky, and still showing berry fruit.

Slight oxidative nose with herbal overtones and notes and hints of citrus fruits and a gentile smokiness. Rich and creamy on the palate. Generous flavors of lemon and lime with hints of time build to a big, long lasting, bright, juicy and acidic finish.

Too much age on the 2006 by now, flat, thin, lacking sufficient acidity, but some lemon flavor and minerality
