I dont check a lot of dont likes. This is one that tipped the scales easily. Far too heavily weighted to the greenness and stemminess factors for my taste. While some may prefer this style, I do not. While the level of herbaceousness did recede some from my first bottle, the last was no less disappointing.

Dusty cellar floor on the nose with little fruit coming through. On the palate same dusty earthy flavors, after an hour beautiful red current, blackberrys come through. Acid and tannin in balance...really quite good.

Nice - not as obviously fruity as before. Also not as much herbaceousness, but he earthy component is still there. Quite good with steak, as expected.

Big, yet balanced plummy wine. Some blackberry bramble, good acid, and enough depth to make it interesting. Quite good.
