Monday, May 7, 2012 - Fabulous. Drank after the 2004 and an absolute pleasure after that. Decanted for an hour, colour was muted ruby, and not completely translucent (maybe not enough of a wait after shipping?). Nose was rich, primarily dense red fruit with a bit of savoury funk mixed in, but with an amazing topnote that i kept trying to isolate and could never quite pin down all evening. In the mouth it was clean and fresh, red fruit continuing with cherries and some floral hints offset by a clean acidity and fine tannin structure. Finish maybe slightly shorter than expected. Think this will get better yet, but hard to leave alone in the meantime.
