Perfectly ready to drink. Beautiful deep colour, with solid but not overwhelming fruit nose (cherry/blackcurrants to me). Long body, a little darkness on the end with the lovely tobacco/coffee note, and a nicely drawn out finish. Just a pleasure to drink, and I only wish I had more in the cellar...

a lovely bottle, opened with a number of friends that I met in 2004...but poorly matched with food (a spicy fish) or so I thought. Actually held up well with the fish, because of the peppery notes, and its little bit of lightness. Well balanced, fun nose, glad I bought it, great to drink with friends.
