  nose: cherry licorice or cherry pepsi; also, some wood, like the smell of a used smoker/bbq grill; butterscotch too.
  somewhat thin, but interesting. Cranberry juice - sweet tasting but tangy with cottony cranberry-juice feel.

  An excellent bottle. Notes consistent with prior and others. Good fruit with a nice bit of acid/spice.

  This is very good. Much much better than the 2004 as I have stated. Accidentally opened this when I was attempting to open another 2004 to get through that inventory. This has bright fruit on the nose and palate. Not getting old at all. Lovely.

  Still better than the 2004. Prior notes still apply. IMHO the 2005 is much better than the 2004. Will try to drink up the remaining 2004s I have.

  I rank this between the 03 and 04, with the 03 being my favorite. Savory and with a touch of anise, this was nice overall and would work well with food. Great value at the discounted price I paid.
