Full immature color. Rich, succulent nose. Quite oaky but not aggressively so Some high pitched floral notes, some earth, musk. A touch exotic. A bit extracted. Almost sweet. But nothing overdone. This had width and breadth. Raspberry and morello cherry. Structured, concentrated, nicely balanced, very good zip. Old-viney energy and intensity. Not a trace of the greeness that plagues some of ’04 reds. This is a fine bottle for the vintage. Will be very interesting to follow over the next decade. Now – 2022.
