Good color, a bit of fading. The nose is soft, showing aromas of red berries, earth, spice and hints of flowers. This is medium light bodied on the palate with a lack of concentration and finesse. The short finish features earth, rustic tannins. This sample came direct from the cellars of the winery. Past its best.

This was a considerably better showing than a bottle a year and a half ago. Much more giving on the nose...medium in body and finish...red fruits with a hint of earth

My last bottle of 2005, drinking very very well. Great fresh nose, complex but not dirty or muddled at all. Very smooth and gentle mouthfeel, nice elegant finish. Good balance, not heavy at all but big and lush. Love this stuff.

This is drinking quite well right. restrained nose, that eventually became a bit more expressive. Nice mouthfeel, medium bodied, restrained, moderate tannins.
