Rating: 90(+?) - As reviewed by International Wine Cellar in Issue 120, May/June 2005. ($40-$70) Good deep red-ruby. Cool aromas of raspberry, currant, black olive and spicy oak. Sweet, sexy flavors of redcurrant, tobacco, nuts and dried herbs. A bit more compact today than the 2004, but finishes with suave tannins and very good grip. Showing a bit of an acid edge following the bottling.
