Started out tasting basically like the 2004 version with some age on it. Smooth, raspberry, but with some oxidized "brown" flavors too. Second day, it opened up, the oxidized flavors were gone, it was dense, thick, almost raspberry syrupy (minus the sugar and bright acidity). Very nice.

Popped and poured. Most of the fruit had faded from the wine but still enjoyable. Drink now.

Blackberries and white pepper on the nose and palate. Vanilla oak, with some slightly strong tannins.
