  Dark red ruby in color. Aromas take a while to unfurl revealing notes of dark plums, fennel, herbs, earth and tobacco leaves. A very structured palate shows savory and dark fruits with strong note of fennel, medium acidity, hint of tannins and that tobacco note on the finish. This is just turning the corner.

  Plenty of 2005s are showing well now, but this one currently continues to hold back. Better than six months ago, but still not showing a lot of fruit. What fruit this wine has is dark and there is lift from the stems, but the wine seems to be holding back in definition and sensuality.

  Not as closed as the bottle consumed two years ago, but still not giving any detail or much pleasure. If I hadn't known this wine in its youth, it would give up on it, but I think all it needs is more time to come back.

  For me this lacked charm. Its impressive to be this alive and present for a 14 year old burg and the traditionalist in me wants to love this, but truth be told it just wasn't much fun to drink. Crunchy red fruit, twigs, earth, tannins. Almost had a carbonic bojo feel to me. Wouldn't mind a bit more fruit and a bit softer feel.

  The delicate and reserved aroma, mostly floral. The fruit was nice but the wine seemed in a transition. Will wait a few years to try this again.
