  Slightly oxidized and starting to fall apart.

  2005 is in perfect shape. At its peak.
  
  The fruit is bright, ripe & juicy. Dry-ish blackberries, loads of dark cherries, poached strawberries, black raspberries, hues of raspberries, red cola/licorice, caramel as it opens up, slightly dry tobacco, sandalwood to barrel dust, dry, powdery top soil, soft, chewy, leather, herbaceous notes, fennel notes, steeped fruit tea, dry crushed rock powder, some dark, rich soil, dry brush & leaves, tarry notes, anise, bright dark, fresh, red flowers, amazing acidity with excellent; balance, structure, tension and beautiful wire to wire finish that lasts nearly two-minutes. Beautiful!!!

  Tannin is still dominating. Opened after a bit. Very nice. Still room to evolve.

  There is a thin film of sediment adhearent to the inside of the bottle.
  Cork is in pristine condition.
  Ruby color with a little caramel.
  Raspberry, graphite, leather and mineral.
  The tannins are a little on the dry side.

  No notes taken. Tasted double blind. I don’t have much experience with these wines but this showed well in terms of concentration (impressive and without excess weight), expression (good from the go), aromatic depth (mainly in the red fruit spectrum, along some earthy minerality) and precision (quite strong). Points deducted, however, for the lack of balance and integration. This showed quite wild and never really settled down. Maybe a few more years in the cellar or a longer decant could help here.
