This is a fabulously rich wine, full-bodied and complex in cherry, peach, vanilla, yeast, lychee, roasted almond and charcoal. It’s also exceptionally delicate and fine, with a silk-and-satin mouthfeel that’s as light as air. It’s showing a bit of age but has yet to come into its own, suggesting a good 5–10 additional years of cellaring. ——S.H.(12/31/2005)—— 93
