I bought this based on a recommendation by a friend and the great review on the 2005 version. Maybe I just got a bad bottle (but it's a screw-cap so you can't blame the cork!) or they're under new management now, but I thought the 2004 was awful. It mellowed a little after leaving it a couple of days and became more drinkable but I would never buy it again. I could find no hint of fruit in either the bouquet or the taste though the color is a satisfying deep purple. The winemaker's notes appear to be referring to a different wine...
