This bottle showed much better than the previous bottle, two years ago. Nice bouquet with very concentrated and focused flavors. Spicy with noticeable tannin. Still has a lot of time ahead of it to develop. I am impressed.

Concentrated and solid wine, but a little over oaked that took from the wine. Medium length and average finish. The wine lacks the charm that pushes it beyond its structure.

Deep purple, almost no sediment. Fruit is brighter than expected for 2005; medium finish. Paired well with the lasagna bolognese recipe on the Elyse website. Some commenter have expressed concern about further aging for this wine but I think it has some years left

different experience than my 2011 experience with this bottle... then I commented it was more restrained than I expected... this one has plenty of fruit, perhaps just a tad riper than I prefer, but it was drinking very well and I enjoyed it. nice bottle, and this will hold for quite a bit still..
