Nov 23rd, 2017Still massive and loaded with ripe, seductive, sexy fruit, for sure on the darker side yet long, structured and layered.

2 people found it helpfulFeb 20th, 2015drunk over two days, not decanted (should have for sediments). The wine gained in weight and structure the second day but I found very little variation otherwise. Dark red with lighter rim. I detect notes of black fruit, black cherry, white pepper, graphite and spices. In the mouth it is full and I think I could also perceive dark chocolate and leather. Tannins are still present but greatly supported by the acidity. The texture is layered and the finish long. I like this wine more now than a couple of years back and look forward to see it evolve more.

Oct 24th, 2016We had the 2004 Vintage on 6/22/24. Pungent bouquet. Tastes of black cherry and leather. I think this would have been better a few years earlier.
