The 2005 vintage:

Still remarkable youthful even at almost 12 years of age. Deep purple in colour, ripe blackberry fruit with a bit of tartness. Quite a bit of oak, but not over the top...it does show in a bit of bitterness. Complex and long finishing with a whack of notable tannin. Really not quite ready for drinking yet, needs another 3-5 years. I can imagine this wine living past 2030 with ease. Tasted May 2017.
