This was just OK for me… There is tons of stuff going on here—it’s really pretty chaotic. There’s a real rich, sweet, complex fruitiness on the noise, and on the palate big flavors of raisin and plum, some vanilla, and a bit of cedar box. There’s also tons of oak, and then the finish is absolutely filled with smoke and tobacco. It’s a strange wine, and quite a bit different than the 2003 I’ve had previously. One would hope that (in some time) this wine will also settle down, and mellow out.

very distinct wine - one of the darkest I've ever seen. Strong, concentrated raisin and plum up front, almost prune-like, and then finishes with a lighter ash taste - like you just had a cigarette - but not in a bad way. The next morning, I had a black tongue.

Interesting wine. It's an easy drinker, but the unripe bell pepper and olive taste in the mid-palate was the only downfall I could find in it. Otherwise it's just a sweet red with weird layers.

It starts out strong with an interesting nose of tobacco and plums, but didn't really develop after that. Soft and silky smooth on the palate with a cloying finish.

Wine hits with a nice spice and fruit but fades quickly, slightly off balance. Maybe it was too young. I could drink this from time to time for the price I paid.
