Deep color, still pretty youthful. Notes of red berries, also some dark fruit, mint, nail polish, some herbal notes, slightly fresher and youthful. Medium-full bodied, but slightly lighter than 2004, with high acidity and medium-high tannin that is a little less pronounced than 2004 and 2001. Good length. Very good but maybe not as substantial as 2004.

Decanted 3 hours. Drank over 2 days. Dark brick red. No age showing on edge. Tannins at first, more mellow day two. Needs air. Some spice, Cherries. Long finish. Very nice.

Pruney but structured on the first night, when most of it was consumed - without enough decanting. By the third evening, it was more fresh and mineral, and more fun to drink. The lesson for me yet again: more air.

Tannins are still quite strong. Coming together nicely, but will probably be even better in a few years
