Great producer, average vintage is always a good way to go... Beautiful, bright red color still. Cork was in great condition. Certainly on the slightly leaner side, but that is always preferable to the opposite... Bramble, red berry fruit, bright acidity, cloves/nutmeg and earthy finish. I do not believe that this wine is going to improve. The tannins show the limitations of the vintage. Not as good as the last bottle..

I waited too long to open the last bottle.
Inferior vintage. The wine has deteriorated over the last 5 years.
A shame...
