Integrated. Incredible texture. Alluring touch of burg funk on nose. Infinite depth includes game, pure Pinot fruits, both red and blue with balance and finesse. Again please!

From half bottle . Medium light garnet . This is quite closed at first , cool sous bois , touch of dry spice and some dried cherry, a bit difficult to read. Touch smoke , black tea , grafite and earthy notes after a while . On the palate this is better with fresh dark cherry , raspberry , blackberry , touch of liquorice and some earthy , grafite notes . Quite serious with quite grippy tannins still , touch of bitterness but balanced fresh acidity . Quite good sweetness on the mid palate and decent length , earthy finish . Gains in intensity and complexity with time in the glass . Still pretty young and tannic , like a lot of 2005s . Needs a bit of time to open, but should last well a further 5-8 years maybe longer , though this may never completely integrate those tannins.

Strawberry, cherries & oak on the nose. On the palate a new world profile held in check by the acid and earthiness. No rush to open another for 5 years,
