Popped this a bit young, but I couldn't resist. A dark purple color to it, with a very intense nose of pencil lead, black currants, licorice, and some spices. Some oak, but not overwhelmingly so. The wine definitely improved with some aeration. There was a streak in the nose that reminded me of the few Quilceda Creeks I've been lucky enough to try. Well structured, with sweet tannins and a very impressive finish. This is a really powerful wine, and while drinking well now, should go for a long time.

Corked, so I popped an 04 Paloma instead.
