Starts out heavily smoked, almost woodsy. Stays oaky throughout, while showing an overt candied, sweet, medicinal core. Not very edgy, with a lot of marshmallow, vanilla and syrup. Made at twice the production level as the inaugural 2002, and with a new premium wine competing for top fruit; still good but not special like the '02.
