From magnum, slow-O 4 hours, consumed non-blind over 3 hours. Falls short of the '01 - lacks depth and personality. Really just middle of the road, which is to say I was disappointed.

A bunch of Italians on a Saturday afternoon: I brought this. Disappointing. Its good, but I expected more. This was Ohio $50 on release. Purple/ruby in color. The nose is dusty with celery and some dark cherries. Weak. Much better on the palate though. Dark cherries with some earth. No real complexity at this point, I don't see it getting better. Oh well. I guess my expectations were much higher.

chaos....is what runs through my mind when trying to figure out why a good winemaker would waste his grapes and effort on such an over-oaked anonymous, characterless wine.
