Don't see this wine a lot. Reasonable fruit here and certainly upside potential, but even for an '05 it was quite closed. Disappointingly ungiving on the finish although showed much more promise across the midpalate. 91-92

Dark ruby and a bit cloudy. Indian spice, very meaty, bloody smell. Fat tannins, massive on the finish. With some air it developed notes of espresso, but basically needs years to show its true colors. Impossible for me to rate at this point.
