I’m not as fanatic about this one as I was a couple of years ago. Not sure if it’s a bad bottle or if it’s past its prime. Aroma: strawberries, cherries, raspberries, eucalyptus, cola, cloves and floral notes. Palate: lemons, grippy tannins, bright acidity with a long finish. Better on day 2 with the wine being more mellow. Paired nicely with Pizza Margherita. The acidity in the tomato sauce softened the tannins and the acidity of the wine. A wine that’s better paired with food than without. 90-91

On the nose—prunes, plums, dark cherries, oak, honeysuckle. On the mouth—cranberry juice, balanced, light to medium tannins, long elegant finish. Lots of sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Paired with a heirloom tomato Burrata and prosciutto salad with warm baguette. Delicious with this beautiful, elegant and complex feminine wine. Would decant future bottles. Drinking well now! 94-95

Very pleasant. Red and blue fruit. Nice balance. Not much depth.

Lovely red fruited character with impressive depth and complexity. Drinking well for a 2005.
