Good medium red. Red cherry, licorice and mineral aromas with a floral topnote. Round, supple and elegant, with a spicy character to the intense redcurrant and red cherry flavors. A juicy, classically styled midweight. Finishes with tangy, persistent flavors of bitter cherry, dark chocolate and spices.
IMO, most, if not all 2004s should be pounded.
IMO, they will just get greenier and meanier with age.
I’m really not a fan of this vintage and have had trouble finding many which are acceptable.
