Very interesting comparison to 05, which we tasted just before this one. This is completely different league. immediately the nose is much more expressive with overripe fruit characteristics and nicely integrated vanilla. This continues in the taste, which is big, round, smooth and reminiscent of dry fruit with nicely integrated oak. Also the finish is much longer. Unfortunately this was the only bottle I had (found it when organizing my cellar :)
