The 2005 delivers aromas of dark currants and plums along with pencil shavings, juniper, licorice, spices, leather and a hint of damp earth. Firmly structured and balanced with underlying acidity, ending with a long finish that grips hold leaving behind black fruits. This is accessible today, but if approaching now I would recommend allowing it extended air contact at the very least. (Best 2014-2022) - October, 2014 - (JD)
