Polished and suave, with mocha and cocoa notes embedded in the dark plum, fig and currant fruit. Lush and pure, with a creamy mouthfeel and fine length on the finish, where a mineral hint chimes in.

Not nearly as intense and Cab-like as the 2003. For whatever reason, this vintage is bouncy and light, with a touch of smoked meat and rubber but mostly simple raspberry and cherry flavors. The feel borders on jammy, and it finishes with a touch of chocolate but also kind of herbal.——M.S.(12/31/2007)—— 85
