It's medium body with structure. It's so fresh even it's 2006. It doesn't show its age like 2006. Fresh Strawberry, raspberry, asian spice flavor. It just like the new style of Barolo flavor. I expect it has plenty of life. You can drink or keep for many years still.

Even it has over 15 percent alcohol but you wont feel the heat. Its actually quite normal with powdery tannic which remind me the bigger Pomerol mouthfeel. Its dark in color and nose with dark fruit, oak and spice. Its has eucalyptus, mint, dark chocolate bauquet. I left the other half bottle in the frige and drank it on the second day. It hold up really well. I think it was even better. Oak, fruit, tannic was perfectly integrated and it still had its power but elegant. I love it more than Springflat 03, RWT 01, 12, clarendon hill brookman and also Deadarm 03, 05, 06.

- Ruby color. It's balanced and has flavours of chocolate, cedar and oak with a full body with a long finish.
