Matured very well since my last tasting. More mellow, with a good balance between fruit and acidity, with a long pleasant finish. Drink up with a year.

Nose - plum, earth, mint, lovely nose Mouth - nice complex cornucopia of red and dark fruits, licorice, lovely sappy long fruited finish. Excellent interplay of fruit, acidity, and tannins. 2nd time having this and 'I like'. I think this can't last many more years

A bit on the harsh side. I admire the balance of Elan wines, but in the 2004 it comes with a slight harshness. Works well with rich food - it can stand up to salt and pepper - and it evolves nicely in the glass with fruit, acid and tannins in balance, delivering a strong finish. Should last another 5 years or more.

More dried herbs and earthy, dusty cocoa powder than fruit at this point. Drink yesterday.
This is something that is not indicative of newer vintages from this winery.
