Good medium ruby. Thoroughly ripe aromas show great depth and more nuance than the 2002. Wonderfully lush, sweet and seamless, with dominant flavors of black raspberry and chocolate. Finishes with broad, dusty, horizontal tannins that arrive late and saturate the palate. Very long on the aftertaste. Levy fermented a portion of this wine in small barrels and has come to the conclusion that this technique really agrees with the Vecina fruit.
