I have enjoyed other vintages of this wine, but was wondering if anyone had a recent TN on the 2005. Any info is appreciated.

It's good isn't it? We had the '05 a couple of weeks ago. While I didn't take formal notes, thought it was a bit spicier than other vintages. A consistent house, and good QPR.

I have not tried it yet. I got a couple bottles from my supplier at a good price and I plan on trying it soon. Do you feel it needs more time?

Probably will improve over the next couple of years, but not a long ager IMO, let 'er rip! Mine was best with about an hour or air. Besides, it's something like a $15-20 bottle.
