What a treat, BlackBerry, Cassis, at 14 years, fruit forward, no bricking, youthful and vibrant. In a really good place and strong sous-vide ribeye pairing.

A delight. No decant needed, but I'd say this is still on the early side of maturity. Full-volume and yet not out of balance. Has a great, long, friendly length. Still tannins, but they're sweet. No one would ever confuse this for a Pauillac but you'll get just as much pleasure from it.

Best bottle yet of this case. Unfortunately only one bottle left but certainly no hurry. Had it with other 05's and this was the most complex and complete wine. Very delicious, rich and well balanced.

4 or 4.5 out of 5. Super smooth, Audrey & Breta loved, and I really liked.

No change from prior tastings. Does not need a long decant. In a very good drink window right now.
