Tasting notes
Good full medium red. Ripe, sappy aroma of cherry, flowers and minerals. Sweet and sappy in the mouth, with lovely penetrating acidity and noteworthy aromatic lift. A much gentler and less thick style than the 2005 but I love this wine's firm spine of tannins and acids and its inner-mouth tension. Mounts slowly and lingers impressively on the back.

An atypically high-toned nose of briar, wood spice and red pinot fruit aromas laced with warm earth and hints of smoke and game lead to sweet, sappy, intense and structured flavors that offer good if not outstanding concentration yet the power, length, balance and overall punch are most impressive. As it usually is, this is a serious wine though more elegant than normal and finishes with a classically complex and firmly structured backend that is fresh and vibrant. An excellent '04 and recommended. Drink 2011+.
Good medium red. Pure aromas of raspberry, cherry and minerals. Fat, ripe and sweet but light on its feet, with a stony character giving an impression of energy to the wine. This builds impressively on the back end, finishing with substantial sweet tannins and superb length.
