Tuesday, November 24, 2015 - Not at the end, by any means. Can probably go another 4-5 years at least. 2004 was a classic and stellar vintage. A close second to the spectacular 2001 vintage. Lovely fruit, lively acid, tasty lead pencil and smooth, silky, integrated composition keeps you sipping....and sipping. Nice dark core of tannin, as I well. I had with a Ribeye followed up with dark chocolate--all delicious. I'll try my last one in a couple of years as oak presence may be even more integrated by then, still a tad distracted by the vanilla overtone, but a beautiful wine.
