Good bright, medium ruby. Explosive, perfumed aromas of red- and blackcurrant, black raspberry, dark chocolate, violet and cedary, smoky oak. At once lush and juicy, with impressive purity to the black fruit and sexy oak flavors. Nothing herbal about this cabernet. Finishes very long and vibrant. I find this more open and easier to taste than the excellent 2003 at a similar stage.
