Dark red in color, no bricking noted. Nose lively and showing dark fruit, black currents with a mile earthy undertone. Palate showed some nice restrained dark fruits, with some available earthiness of graphite and herbs. Tannins were fine, still present. Mediuim body with medium finish.. Nice QPR.. Fun drink when you know litttle cash was invested, mostly patience.

Compared with the 2003 vintage. Rich, dark color. Bouquet is that of fruit and a slight earthly note. Smoother on the palate with a bit more body than the 2003, but more tannin and less "fruity".

Beginning to dry out a little with more herbal notes than juicy fruit. But this is still very nice, complex with dry blackcurrant and cherry fruit. Tannins are pretty smooth. This was an interesting experiment with a $12 wine.

Starting to fade, thinning out, yet still deep purple, interesting to taste.
