Smooth, drinking great. Needed to open more vs. 2001. 2001 was incredible smooth, berries... didn't pay enough attention to giving detail but 2001 was so good, you just wanted to hold it in your mouth and savir. The 04 is more tart.

Brick red, cocoa, leather, and light plum on the nose. Cherry and leather on the palate. Still has structure, even though recommended drinking date is by 2015. Not a long finish, but probably still enjoyable for another year or so.

Decanted 2 hours. This wine was thinner than I expected - sort of looked like a pinot in the glass. Red fruits. Not a lot of secondary notes either, which was a bit disappointing. But it was very drinkable and food friendly.
I'm really not even sure where this bottle came from - so don't know what kind of value it was. Would I pay $25 for it? Sure. But that's about it.
