Cork 1/3 soaked, extracted easily. Bright clear red with no browning. Aromas toward the savory end of the spectrum. Drank without air time. Very pronounced sweet fruit, nice texture with gentle tannins, acidity OK. Enjoyable, no particular contemplation required. Around 2 hours later (with air), a subsequent taste showed a firmer wine, but with much of the fruit reticent.

My last bottle of this, and it really is just getting better. I can't wait to see how good the 04 is, considering the hype behind that vintage in Tuscany. Such power and meatiness, but still complex and deep. Probably one of the best QPR BdM's on the market.

Decanting for an hour helped it to open up. Baking spices, plum, boysenberry
