NOSE: spicy cigarbox; "dark"; concentrated plum; hints of anise and molasses; not funky.

BODY: medium-full bodied; rustic garnet color of deep depth.

TASTE: cigarbox; ripe, and full-flavored, but not OTT: dark & smoky; no brett; not hot; tannins are a touch drying; medium-low to medium acidity; this is much gutsier than many '04 CdPs I've had; tannins may ultimately win the race with this wine, but there's still lots of fruit left: Drink Now through 2025. Ash gut impression score: 91 – 92.

50, 5, 13, 16, 7 = 91
