Good fruit that came off slightly thinner than last time, but still big. Both dark & some red fruits...not so formal notes this time. Still a very good wine, but it didn't show as nicely as last time. Good fruit, pretty good mouthfeel, good length & some spice on the finish.

nose: cotton candy and cherry. palate: cherry and vanilla. lots of alcohol burn and a very short finish. very disappointing since the 2005 was so very good.

Very nice and spicy. Pepper on the front and a nice finish. This was very good.

Enjoyable. Good PQR. Noticed the syrah more than the grenache in it.
