Pale coloured. Restrained nose. Pristine with subtle oak but not something that excites. Ditto palate. These vines are close planted- this is the whole 9 yards. But it perfectly illustrates that you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear… If the location doesn’t have what it takes (and it could entirely be young vines that limit it), the best practices will not make great wine. I’ll give my other bottle a decade.
