This was one of the best of the of the 05s I have had so far. So much crème de cassis flavors and dark fruit but balanced by a nice acidity from start to finish. Went great with steaks... my go to wine with steaks these days. The opulence brings out the flavors of the meat... like peanut butter and jelly

Slightly less opulent than the other ones I had. Needed a decant to open up. Went great with steak. Lots of dark fruit but also lots and lots of suspended deposits so decant the wine carefully first if you don't want your experience to be ruined.

Still young and fruity. Needed a 3 hour decant. Very enjoyable.

Dark purple in the glass. Cherry and raspberry on the nose. Mocha and mint on the palate with a layer of berries underneath.
