2005 holding up well. Morel, shiitake, crimini, and baked plum, with baked grape for good measure, poppy blossom, squash bread, baked squash blossoms, and bresaola. Rich palate with firm tannin shows oolong, strong graphite core, nutmeg, fine Connecticut tobacco, pepper, dill, and a touch of anise. Bold for its age, and vibrant. Fruits emerge on a long finish; dusty cherry and cocoa, dried black currant, powdered blackberry and cassis.

Out of magnum, compared to 2005 Napa Cab, both held up well and have a long life ahead. Definitely more old world earth and acidity, as you'd expect.

Fabulously smooth, rich and elegant..cherruband licorice. A touch of earthy wood.
