From our cellar. Decanted and drank over 3 hours. Took about an hour to really shine and drank extremely well. Huge nose - could smell it across the room. Full bodied, dense yet smooth, and well balanced. Love the smokey, dark cherry and chocolate covered blueberry flavors. Very impressive. Has time left, but it's pretty awesome right now. Try one if you have one.

Decanted and followed over 3 hours. Last hour was best.
This wine is light and uplifting. Higher toned red fruit with good acids and lithe acidic undertone on the palate. Alcohol was in check only after a few hours. Dramatically improved with air to suggest more time is needed. I had high hopes based on the nose and entry. It just never followed through. 89-90 pts.

The last of our 2005s. Excellent bottle, without the full-throttle alcohol or dense weight I feared, this had high acid and clear fruit. Perfectly composed at this age. Loved it.

Nice. Very drinkable, but can still hold for awhile. Nice body, not too heavy, but still luscious. Good fruit but not overly sweet. Blueberry prominent, a bit meaty and smokey, hides it's alcohol well. Hoping for some secondary flavors to develop in next few years.

Well balanced with just the right amount of funk, drinking perfectly now. Open for 1 hour prior to tasting.
