Open for 1 hr + vinturi. Nose of black fruits and good funk, something vegetal on nose, a bit of sulfur and mineral very strong tannins, probably needs another few years. Drank with the 04, and the 04 was definitely superior (a better year).

Decanted for 3 hours, interesting nose but much lighter than the 2004 and maybe past its best.

I think this is fully mature. Drink up

Really enjoyable bottle. Faint nose, cherries on the palate with mature tannins and smooth acidity. Drank down quickly.

Very musty nose - Mouvedre? Palate still has fresh taste, blackfruits, light tannins and balanced acidity. Drink now or this will go a few more years
