This still tastes fairly young. In comparison to the ‘03 Reserve I opened in May, this isn’t as complex, but it’s just as young. Prune, black licorice and blackberries. Tannins are mostly integrated so the palate is incredibly smooth. Front and back palate aren’t as full as the mid-palate where the fruit is still dominant. No rush to open.
