Wow - I really enjoyed this. I pulled the cork around five hours before serving which helped - no formal notes but ample fruit and plenty of acidity to balance - getting earthy/mushroom type notes - but really enjoyable and in a good place with a decent decant. One of the best 2005s I’ve had in a while - impressive!

Still young. Fresh raspberry and strawberry on the nose...needs quite a bit of coaxing at this stage. Nice acidity and fine tannins. Hold for a few more years - will likely improve with more time in the bottle.

Medium body, garnet color, tannins almost completely integrated. Nose dried fruit, sweet liquor. Mouth very soft, mature sweetness balanced with acidity, some earthy notes, warm holiday spices. Seems to have reached its peak and perhaps coming to the end of it. Planning on drinking within the next year.

Mary Taylor Wine Tour d'Amtrak and Dinner; 4/20/2023-4/21/2023 (New York, NY): So 2005 in terms of intensity, backwardness, and substance. I like where it's going, but it's not there yet.
