Big boy, hyper extracted and super rich. Dense plush and expressive, with crushed berry bruit, licorice and chocolate, with a dusting of oak and tannins on the finish. For fans of modern style s-e. Better as a digestif than with food. Drinking well but plenty of structure for further evolution

2012 opened 2019 very similar description as the 2005, good Bordeaux but a bit astringent. Seems to be consistent year after year and would pair well with food. Plum nose with hints of fall spice
