This wine has completely shut down since its been bottled but exhibits a saturated ruby/violet color, high levels of tannin, & sweet, noble black currant fruit intermixed with some licorice, espresso roast, & pain grille. In the vernacular, it is closed for business, with medium to full body, high levels of tannin, & good acidity in a more structured, classic style than the 2003. This is a big, traditionally made wine to forget for a good 5-8 years. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2020. 90 points. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate.
