Sunday, June 19, 2005 - Not sure what to make of this. The nose is very closed. The palate started off nice with cherry/cranberry, some spice, good acidity and no alcohol or oak to speak of, but with a couple of hours of air it shut down considerably. The fruit became less evident and tart and the acidity was a little disjointed. Overall the wine is a bit simple and it may be in a closed phase. I will wait another 6 months to a year before opening my last bottle. The '02 ROAR I opened a few nights ago was drinking much better.
