Rather cool and unbreathed, this was very dull. Really put me in mind of rooty, low-fruit right-bank Bordeaux of poor vintages which have got too old. Some concentration, but they've missed out on the 2005 opportunity to retain acidity whilst having ripe fruit. The next day, it had breathed to really gross (ie disgusting) strawberry jam. 82 points for day 1!

Earth, dust and light red fruit molded together in a slightly bitter and vegetable ending.
