I love the 2004 and even more so the 2005, so I was expecting this to be somewhere close. I was wrong. Given this wines heritage this was linier, simple, and came off flabby compared to other Batuta's. I have no idea if this is in a closed phase or just isn't one of the great Batuta's. I do hope it's the previous. Anyone else had this recently?
