It is very interesting if you compare it to tasting of the same wine, but 03 vintage in February 2010. This vintage, although pretty much the same (or slightly higher) bottle maturity is slightly more fresh and less chocolate style. This is clearly due to screw cap stopper, which shows that even red wines can age very well under it, despite the opposition of traditionalists.
