Friday, December 29, 2006 - Wow - my first go with this wine, and it's working for me. Quite tannic still (I'm sure related to the vintage), but with a load of dark fruit - currant, black- and blueberry - and some iodine to keep things in check. The tannins are a bit dominant or else this would really be a spectacular wine. Benefited from 90+ minutes of airtime. I didn't decant, but would do so 45 or more minutes before I wanted to drink it, at least at this stage.
