It is tasting old and it has lost its appeal. Was once a nice bottle but anyone still holding should drink ASAP. 1hr decant but just not all there anymore.

Big nose of mature strawberries, sharpie, fall leaves, and black tea. Autumnal nose. Matures strawberry up front, with smoldering black tea underneath. Impressively balanced, especially given the 15% alcohol. Long, spicy finish. This seems to be a bigger, more power-focused wine than the 2004, and drinking well now.

Lovely wine. Quite tight when first opened but 2 hours in decanter did wonders. Lucius notes of black cherry, cream de cassis with a touch of cedar, leather and stony mineral. Long finish with well balanced acidity.

Raspberry, electric, licorice, superripe but bolstered with intense acidity and mineral sense. Silky texture with zip from the crackling acid. Ample sediment, I think this is drinking very well now.
