Fantastic! This was in no way drinkable 5 years ago but today is is singing. Beautiful floral nose. Exciting vibrancy on the palate, good length. Gaining elegance. Loads of structure! Grippy tannins. This will benefit from a bit more time and has many years to go.

Good color, some light brown hues around the edge. Excellent aromatics of red berries, leather, and earth. A bit restrained overall but a lovely example of mature NSG. Might have a few years left but probably best consumed soon.

very nice, and seemed at peak... surprised (and pleased a bit) that this wasn't -- particularly for 2005 and for NSG -- super heavy / dark... this had nice darkish fruit but with a good amount of lift and cut from acidity... hmmm, not typical NSG and certainly not like some of the brutish '05's I've had in the last 5 years

My last bottle. Served blind. In beautiful condition and peak drinking time
interesting no one picked it as nuit-rather more delicate
