Needed 3 hours plus until it opened a little bit. Intense, vanilla, cedar, earth and mineral notes. Tannin structure very present but not overbearing. Nice complexity and overall very velvety. Better store this aware for another 5 years plus.

Definitely better than the 2003. graphite, charcoal, hints of fruit, classic mouthful, longer finish. Should have decanted for much longer.

Disappointing. Flat. Mostly tannin, oak, hints of fruit. Medium finish. Very surprising.
