Dense ruby/purple, with an attractive, broad, plump nose of plums, raisins, prunes, black cherries, and some dusty earth notes, well-made, medium to full-bodied, with considerable corpulence, flesh, and structure, this is a denser, slightly more tannic wine than the 2001, but big, burly, and showing more finesse than it did prior to bottling.
Still youthfully fresh, with blackberry and raspberry compote notes showing good energy while the backdrop of bramble, dark tobacco and ganache builds slowly through the long, anise-fueled finish. Nicely done
