There is a hint of herbal tea (but no green meanies) on the pure, elegant and now mostly mature red berry fruit, spice and discreet floral-scented nose. The lilting, precise and energetic middle weight flavors exude a fine bead of minerality before concluding in an utterly delicious, balanced and solidly persistent finish. For my taste this elegant and refined effort has arrived on the front edge of its peak drinkability. This is a very fine 2004 and a clear success for the vintage.
