Took about 20 minutes to open up, before revealing bright red and black berries in a well-balanced wine. The M5 is always a pleaser, and the '04 vintage is no exception (although perhaps not quite as amazing as the '03).

14.5%. Murky red. Smells of christmas spices, nutmeg, cloves, white pepper. Initially chunky tannins but smooths out with air. Juicy tartness balanced with intense fruit. Excellent wine. Must buy more.

This wine has definitely balanced out and added levels of complexity.

Drank at Ravinia. Nice smooth fruit, but no outstanding attributes.
