Last tasted this ten years ago and since then it has tamed the tannins and acid. Still very robust, but now drinking well, balanced and interesting. I would pair this with sturdy fare such as a grilled steak or lamb burgers

Tasted in a vertical together with '06/08/09/11. Tasty wine, but least preferred by the group because of some intense wood in the nose and lack of integration of fruit/tannin/acid. Probably will improve with another few years of bottle age.
