Wow. Was given to me as a gift in 2005. Decided to drink over weekend assuming she was gone. To my surprise it was wonderful. A little rugged at opening this leggy merlot opened in 20-25 minutes and offered dark fruit and a bit of cinnamon and long 20+ finish.

- Crimsom color with slow forming legs - Worried a bit after finding this gem in the cellar but what a great surprise. Its been at 55 degrees since I purchase in 2006 and it drank beautifully! Hats off to David and the Twomey team. Still a dark berry with a tough of leather and cinnamon which softened after 15-20 minutes. Will test out the 2004 sitting next to this one soon!

Probably would have been better had I opened it earlier. Still- all in all - not too bad. Some fruit still left, a bit of complexity showed up on the nose after 90 minutes. Fairly soft on the palate with not much of a finish.

Past its prime. Too late and had to pour it out.
