Drinking very nicely now. Sweet strawberries mixed with sour red cherries. Tannins have almost entirely melted away but there's enough to hold it together. Medium to full-bodied with a nice lingering finish. Not particularly complex but very enjoyable.

Opened 2 hours before tasting. This far exceeded expectations. The power expected from 2005, but with so much charm, so many layers, this kept opening and unfolding, while maintaining very good concnetration and length. At a great point now, but with another 2 decades of life ahead of it.

Worried at first when decanting as a deep inhale revealed stewed fruit and ox. Fortunately this blew off and two hours later it was a glorious wine, perfectly resolved, secondary forest floor, brooding dark plummy fruit, long and delicious.

非常に良い感じに熟成していた。タイミングよく開けられて、大満足。
濃い美しいルビー色。香りは深いベリー、と少しスパイスっぽい感じもあり。
