Add your reviewI had the 2004 about six months ago and remember enjoying it more, so perhaps this bottle needs a few more years but it could also be vintage differences. That said, it's a refreshing bottle of wine with a floral nose, smooth tannins and cranberry flavors on the palate. The finish is quite short.
