Like the '02, this one has a briar/bramble note on the palate that in many ways reminds me of a zinfandel. Medium body and finish. I'd give it a higher score, though at this point the tannins (relatively fine) outweigh the fruit. I'm not sure whether or not time will make this better.

Black fruit, especially blueberry, eucalyptus?. Still some tannins ... and a touch of oak. Very good for the cost.
