Still powerful acidity. Intense nose of whole spices, cardamom and clove, wet soil, and mushroom. On the palate - stewed plums, game, walnut, soy sauce, a little bacon fat peeking through after 30 min. Medium body, medium+ acidity. Started to fall apart after a few hours. Drink now.

Decanted for one hour. Aromas of cherry, raspberry, damp loamy earth and spice. Tangy cherry, earth and fine tannins on the palate. Very pure. Medium to long finish. Medium bodied. Served with baked honey glazed ham.

Aerated with a Vinturi and decanted for 1 hour. Nose of cherry, raspberry, earth and spice. On the palate, cherry, red licorice, earth and toasted oak combine with smooth tannins. Finishes soft, dry and pure with good persistence. Medium bodied.

Aromas of earth and a bit of fruit, earth and red fruit on the palate, high acidity and short to medium finish. Once paired with food this wine showed a bit better with the aromas becoming more enticing and the fruit moving forward.

Good density and powerful notes of cherry, pomegranate, and flowers. Fleshy and still tannic - another 2005 that I probably pulled too early.

Robert Kacher Tasting (Taj, Boston MA): Gorgeous, seductive nose. This wine has no problems flaunting its curves and seducing. No need to wait. 91-92
