D+0h: hardly any deposit in the filter and only a tiny bit in the bottle, smells mildly of blackberry and raspberry D+5h: dark as ink, smells almost of nothing, if you try hard, you can perhaps identify blackberry and raspberry, quite a full body, smooth in the mouth, in the mouth and in the aftertaste blackberry, good length (25-30 sec), a good wine, not overly complex though, I guess this will come with time, it's probably still far too young

Whilst not as good as its 2004 brother, this is still a rather fine glass of wine - it needs time in the decanter, then it's a rich, flavoursome, interesting drink with a decent finish.
