Slightly more concentrated but at the same time more reserved and backward is the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep plum/purple in color with a sweet nose of burning embers charcoal black currants and some subtle smoked herbs the wine again displays terrific aromatic complexity and a full-bodied nicely layered palate impression with integrated acidity tannin alcohol and wood. It is a slightly deeper richer wine than the 2004 and the tannins seem slightly more elevated but this wine has great balance and just needs 1-2 years of bottle age. It should actually eclipse the 2004 in 3-4 years.
