Thin, acidic and lacking balance. But perfectly acceptable with a lovely roast chicken on a Friday night. OK, but considering 2005 vintage you’d expect a bit more body. There are some great wines from this vineyard , this isn’t one. Further proving to me that 2005 was not the vintage it was thought to be.

Much richer and more balanced bottle. Cinnamon and five spice on the nose with ripe red fruit on the palate. Not complex but ready to go and well balanced.

Contrary to the last few tasters I didn't find this thin and acidic. It opened up over an hour and while not a WOW wine, had good fruit and strong though not overpowering acidity. It's ready to go and if tasted blind would think this was a good village level wine.

Nice red fruit and good acidity but finish is a bit clipped. Still has more evolution to go but not as generous as most 2005s.

A little disappointing. Really a bit thin and for a 2005 without the body and texture one would expect.
