People say that this is past it’s prime but it still has surprisingly vibrant acid and fruit and jam notes. Nose has very light barn, earthiness, mushrooms and pencil lead. Medium body with medium finish. It actually has a bit of umami. Love it!

P: Med body; Somewhat rndish entry with decent frt met by balancing acidity, which transitions FAIRLY seamlessly into a VERY LONG, balanced, slightly spicy finish. An ELEGANT, relatively mature beauty for drinking through '19, I suspect! $15.95 for a wine of this quality approaching its 11th yr?!? WOW! :)
