A vibrant wine that has high expectations, but ends up falling just short. A worldly palate with a feminine touch, this wants to excite me, and I was totally into it as I pulled the cork. As I tasted it, I realized that it wasn't going to bring me where I wanted to go. The structure is there, as is the solid winemaking. This would have been a spectacular wine had it been allowed to show its true potential. Unfortunately it was cut short by a bitterness and a desire to go back to the old days before femininity was allow to display its greatness. I will continue to enjoy the wine, even though I know that this is the last hurrah of this bottle. It did well for the effort, unfortunately expectations were set entirely too high.
