  Poured in a Grassl Cru glass and followed over the course of the afternoon. Bottle was standing for a month prior to let fine sediment settle, did not decant.
  
  Ruby and translucent in color with minimal bricking. There is so much going on in this wine. It starts with a seductive and complex nose of dried rose petals, dried raspberries and cherries, iron, beef blood, espresso powder, potting soil, and touch of mushroom. Concentrated and intense dried raspberries, cherries, plum, and sous bois dominate on the palate, held in focus by vibrant acidity and well-integrated supple tannins.
  
  This wine is fully mature and probably drinking at peak now. Everything is in harmony and I’m impressed how well the fruit has kept all these years. I believe this has at least a decade of life left before starting to fade.

  The Wine Summit; 6/2/2006-6/3/2006 (The Post Hotel in Lake Louise): Pale colour – even a bit fuzzy looking; a wam. Mature Burgunbdian character in the nose – a potpourri of dried petals; more balance and harmony that the previous wines; nice cherry fruit – good acidity – tannins beginning to resolve; leading to a moderate finish.
