Smell: cherry, cream, spice, leather notes. Taste: cherry, strawberry, herbs, spice, leather, vanilla. Incredible balance and complexity. Silky smooth yet with tremendous power (like an iron fist in a velvet glove). Even better than last bottle tasted.

Smelled of heavy fruit then something deeper maybe leather or tobacco. In the beginning there was a strong berry fruit taste followed by a slight bitter nut quality. Later a creamy and weedy essence came up. The fruit lightened as the wine warmed up.

Tasted at a 2005 vintage wine tasting. Nose was very strong cherry juice that carried on to the flavor. Light bodied pinot noir, tasted very much like red cherry juice and not bitter at all, smooth tannins and good acidity.
