A nice wine. Sweet, simple fruit; slightly hot nose, nice, darkish fruit length that's also slightly warm but fairly extended. The mouth is well balanced, and a bit showy. The wine is fairly well put together. I liked it more when it was open for 5 minutes than now, having been opened for a few hours.

Finally got around to this one. Picked two up in 2006. Plastic cork(??). Light sediment. Took a few hours to come around but showing cherry and dirt nose, red fruit palate. Good acidity but not obtrusive. Paired with poached rainbow trout.

16th Annual Lyon 10 Year Retrospective (Same Old Place): Stood out for its ripeness. Black cherry and plum, with a cinnamon note. Long mellow finish. Similar on day two, 91pts.

I would mostly agree with Parker on his assessment of this wine. I did not think it had copius tannins.
