Talk about bottle variation … I
bought this wine without tasting it simply because the 2004 was so tasty. When I opened a bottle back in 2011, its
flavors and richness were so wonderful that I immediately sought out more. (That’s no easy task when looking for
half-bottles.) I opened one last year in
September and it was still impressive.
Tonight’s bottle seemed a little shut down and a little awkward. The palette is medium bodied, not lush, and
features flavors of pomegranate, tea, red cherry, nutmeg, and mineral. (I was hoping for more of the 2005
lushness.) I should open another bottle
in a few more days to see if this is a consistent state or just one off-bottle.
