Deep dark crimson, shiny and bright. Full bodied. Muddled black fruit nose with graphite a hint of prune, and barnyard and beets. Not a lot of this transfers to the palate. Mainly blackberry. Medium acidity,medium plus tannins. Grippy firm, and average finish. No decant but poured through a Vinturi-- was thirsty.

Tastes and looks younger than the 2004. Intense fruit and lots of oak. Well made and ready to set down for several more years.
