Sampled 11/16/04. This wine did not take very long to open up and is showing beautifully. The color is much deeper than I thought it would be. The nose more California Cabernet-like than expected, but still clearly not California. The tannins are now completely softened and the layering of fruit, earth, spices and oak are nearly perfectly balanced. The wine has a rich finish that lasts about 15 to 20 seconds. Although perfectly ready to drink now, it might still be good 5 years from now, but why risk it?
