Monday, November 11, 2013 - Not as good as the 2005 we tried side by side. Lighter in color, still ruby-magenta, but more medium-dark than pure dark. Lovely nose of dried flowers, blackberry, simple leather notes and noticeable alcohol. Acids are more pronounced on taste, less integrated into berry complexities, and ultimately take away from the finish, which is short and indistinct as wine. It's OK, but nothing like the 2005. Wait a year, see what happens.
