Earthier than 2008, can't wait to see how this evolves

Lots of great dark fruit, cherry and oak. Tannins are still very aggressive even though it's 9 years old. Needs more aging.

Big dark berry, if not chewy, offering. Big tannins and hint of tobacco. Apparently this vintage was to honor the mother of winemaker Gerhard. I would say he honored her well

Great flavor. I love the old Delectus. The newer ones are a bit pricey.

Delectus is one of my favorite smaller wineries and this 2005 is extremely nice for the price. Would probably keep well for a few more years.
