Absolutely delicious. Tasted over two nights (poured off 1/2 four days ago into 375ml screwcapped bottles that were the basis for tonight's assessment) against an '04 Chappellet Signature and an '04 Pahlmeyer Jason Red.
All were scored 92+ and initially were more alike than different, having great aromatics etc. The D2 emerged w/a slightly greater complex dimensionality of black walnut nuances framed against big blackberry/black raspberry & black cherry flavors and spices that caressed your midpalate and echoed for up to a minute. Fully integrated, rich and satisfying without tasting heavy or overblown.

The wine finishes long. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. The wine has round texture.
