And thanks for the heads up on the 2...Thanks, Greg. And thanks for the heads up on the 2006. I bought a few bottles of this in 2004 and 2005 and was planning to do the same for the 2006 vintage.

Agree with the tasters notes about the tannins. Went back for another bottle and mistakenly grabbed a 2006...that was a mistake, the alcohol is overpowering in the 2006 and drowns all the subtle flavors, the nose alone would make you think you could run your car on it. Don't be fooled, the 2005 is where its at.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772539810079438162noreply@blogger.com
