Deep brown which turned deep red with air. Immediate animale/stinkiness which blew off. Red fruit. Slightly oxidised, almost a little plummy. Nose still kicking and primary. Similar palate at the start. With air, changes completely into a umami/sous bois driven wine. Not a bad wine, but did not turn into the glass that was hoped for. Could be storage issues.

Medium coffee crimson red. Lovely round aroma of red fruit and violets with a slight acidity. Slightly tight red fruit and a hint of banana, coffee, and cola. Very nice. 2/05

The bottle was in perfect shape, and was much better than anticipated given the vintage.
