* Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Sweet and ripe nose, loaded with sweet black cherry and plum aromas, hint of lemon peel, herbs, spices, quite earthen; very smooth and rich in the mouth, bordering on silky; lots of very ripe fruit with almost overripe, stewed characteristics; but there is enough acidity to keep the wine from seeming too flabby; quite intense without being overbearing; long sweet finish with elements of wood and earth throughout; shows the benefits of full maturity. (18/20)

Big nose, loaded with herbs and sweet fruit aromas, chocolate, but also hot and alcoholic; lots of black fruits in the first taste, but there is a harshness and hardness to this wine that remains in the mouth throughout; quite hot and dry on the finish. (16.5/20)

* Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
Big nose, spicy with lots of ripe fruit, black cherry and blackberry aromas, chocolate, quite rich, earthen, very fecund; sweet and ripe on the first entry and on the front of the palate, but the youth of the wine and given the magnum format has not allowed it to develop; dry powerful tannins quickly overpower the fruit; tight and hard in the mouth; spicy and deep finish, and with more time this wine will be able to show much more than it can today. (17.5/20)
