Drinking fantastically. Surprisingly light on the palate for a Shiraz. Tobacco and red fruit in the nose. Light on the palate with black raspberry and dark cherries. Finishes long with a nice earthiness.

Lush, Meaty, and mouth-filling. I was surprised how much this wine has come together since the last one I had about a year and a half ago. This a big wine filled with both dark and red fruit, wood, silky tannins, and lots of leather, earth and tobacco.

Very different from the 03 drank in the same night. The 04 had bright cherry flavors, light on the palate, and had much more prevalent tannins, the opposite of the 03. Still very much enjoyed this wine but was not what I expected from du Pape. Clearly this must have been a cooler vintage because this wine drank light and elegant rather than big and mouth filling.
