Lots of acid, fair amount of tannin. Red cherry and pomegranite, with a lot of air it gets rounder and develops some earthy notes. Not as full as some '05s. Get a bit more time. B?

I've read the two reviews posted here and am a little perplexed. After drinking a couple of bottles, my thought is the wine is just young. Is it a little astringent on initial opening, yes. However, after being open for a few hours things settle down quite a lot. And, the wine is even better the next day, the acidity is toned down and the fruit is much more prominent in the mix.
This wine was undrinkable. Very strong grapefruit flavors. Threw it in the fridge to cook with. It sat in the fridge for 3 months and was tossed in the trash where it belongs. It was not corked, just one of the worst wines I have ever tried.

This wine is somebody's practical joke. Might improve with 15 years of age.
