I lost this bottle in my cellar and found it this week; figured I better try it. This wine was past its prime, leaning on the end of the line. Nevertheless it showed great structure and I am kicking myself for not having it a few years ago. I think it would have been special. The fruit was long gone and its was down to stone and earth notes. Not vinegar but with hints. No vanilla, brioche, caramel. disappointed in myself for not drinking this earlier.

These Wines are just so much better with a few years on them. Much more complex than it was in 2004. Hazelnut and stones on the nose. Strong palate of aged Chard.

From 3L. Big, citrus oil, and candied tropical fruit-scented perfume along with good underlying acidity, and a hint of minerality. Dark golden color.

this bottle should have been amazing; nose was great, but some of the fruit was missing (likely due to age);
