I'm hoping this is just a bad bottle and I'm not talking about being "corked." I'm talking about the early run of the bottling that may been watered down that does not represent the run as a whole or some such other fault. Having stored this correctly since I received it from the winery as a club shipment, I was very much looking forward to opening this bottle. I was sorely disappointed. When I couldn't describe the wine, I called on my wife who has a much finer palate than I. She could only describe a hint of rose on the nose. In the mouth only the most generic character. The balance was not off in terms of high acid. And the finish was certainly long enough of nothing much. I could only give it an 88; perhaps it rates an 89. It does not rate $90 a bottle. I will open my next bottle with great anticipation.
