"The wonderfully spicy, elegant and airy nose has turned largely secondary with its floral, spicy and smoky red berry fruit nose. The middle weight flavors are a study in refinement and precision and it would be fair to observe that this is notably finer than its 2002 counterpart; indeed the mouth feel of the impeccably well-balanced finale could accurately be described as lilting. For my taste this attractively mineral-inflected effort has just arrived at the front edge of its prime drinking window though it should hold there for a number of years to come."
