Tasting notes
Good full, bright red. Primary aromas of black cherry, minerals and underbrush. Broad and lush for the year but without any impression of weight; the sweetest to this point of these 2004s. This fills the mouth with perfume. Finishes silky and persistent, with fine-grained tannins, a peppery nuance and a lovely return of fruit. Still a bit youthfully closed; this should benefit from a few years of cellaring.

Full red-ruby. Discreet aromas of dark fruits, flowers and game. Rich and sweet, with enticing inner-mouth perfume. Subtle flavors of black raspberry and minerals. Reticent finish shows sneaky persistence.
