Deep dark color. Vanilla on the nose, some woody tones. Tasted 2003 yesterday and this is very similar. A tad more fruit on this one leads me to believe 2003 has peaked, despite fact that tannins are still very much there. I wonder whether the lack of sediment in both bottles is an indication of the lack of development these wines have seen. Young they were too much for me, too new worldly. Now they are average. I am afraid me and Schlumberger Deux Terres don't combine well at any age. Too bad.

Wow. This wine was much better than expected. Silky tasting red fruit and great balance of tannin.
