Popped and poured. Translucent purple. Nose of plum, black cherry with a hint of earth. Medium bodied palate of ripe dark fruit, licorice, spice, and expresso. Good length. Pleasant acidity. Mild oak and tannins. Good to very good wine. I have enjoyed several vintages of this wine - this isn't the best I've had. Will be interested to try the '07.

Tasted Blind. Prominent nose of vanilla and red fruit and tastes of sweet red berries. Finishes with more red berries framed by anise or licorice. Nicely balanced and enjoyable.
