After sinking the 2005 version of this wine for being discombobulated, this seems like a total turn-around. It's dense and jammy like the previous year, with similar toasted qualities. But it's also better balanced and mentally challenging, with flavors of black olive, baked berry fruit and earth. Finishes rich and oily, with a distinct coffee flavor. Drink now into 2010.
