Deep, dark ruby.
Hint of clove, black cherry, plum.
Prune, coffee, earthy. A bit of quince/port-like coming through the nose.
Astringent compared to the other vintages, bit of olive flavor and clove retro. Smells better than it tastes, it's a bit disjointed. First one I could discern oak character out of. Love the nose right out of the bottle but it's overshadowed by 2003 once it opens up.

Fantastic but not as deep in texture and flavor as the 2005. Still loved it
