served blind (although not to me). great nose. explosive, vibrant, red fruit... given what i knew about the vintage, i could not have been happier with this showing. none of the tasters identified it as 2004... most thought 02 or perhaps 07. i got none of the greenness that has come to identify the vintage... others did... but only when they saw the label!

beautiful elegance and light berry fruit notes to this lovely bottle. it still seems primary, but i did not find it overly tannic. while it seems a few years away from its prime drinking window, it was a very lovely drink on this evening.

horrifically pre-oxed. truly unfortunate... perhaps not unexpected.
