Fully resolved, lush, and deep.the new oak worked, even in the long haul. Eminently drinkable, plenty complex (especially the nose), and fresh enough. At plateau; it's time to drink before the fruit fades and the existing hints of alcohol dominate.

This bottle seemed to have a flaw, or the wine is on the downhill. The fruit had dropped off significantly. I have one bottle left in my cellar so will need to see if this was just bottle variation or maybe i waited to long to drink.

Still dark and deep, with nice complexity. And still better than the '02.
