Similarly to 2003 vintage tasted here it is expressive with black sour cherries accompanied by nice fruit. This vintage does not have as much chocolate and vanilla tones as 2003 and is more fruity, but some people may prefer this one. I have one more bottle and I can guarantee this would only gobetter in 1 to 2 years.
