Medium ruby red with clear hue. A nose of light, musty cedar. Palate is less plush & round as the `04. Also lighter in body, with more acidity & tannic structure. A decent amount of spice emerges early in the midpalate and persists throughout the medium length finish. [14% a.b.v.; $10.00].

Dark ruby red in color, on the nose nice blackcurrant, licorice, spices and a hint of petrol. On the palate it"s full-bodied, rounded, with not too high level of tannin, but a bit high alcohol. A bit short finish. Nice wine. 88-89 points

Solid bottle for the price. Drank in Corpus Christi with friends, so no formal notes.
