Tasting notes
(14.1% alcohol) Good medium red. Compelling aromas of very ripe dark raspberry, chocolate truffle, minerals and burnished oak. Round and silky on the palate, with excellent volume and breadth for the vintage. Sexy spice notes perk up the dark fruit and chocolate flavors and contribute to the wine's impression of aromatic persistence. Finishes suave and complex. As large as this is, it manages to maintain its balance. The best of these 2004s by a wide margin.

Cask sample. Still relatively inexpressive on the nose but wonderfully exciting bright cherry fruit on the palate. Very pure and well defined. Lots of tannin but very pure and winning. A very persistent wine that insists its quality and reverberates. Bravo! (JR)
