Presented blind to other tasters at Vintage Wines, Ltd. Bottle taken from my personal cellar. Bright disc. Medium ruby/garnet robe with pink rim. Clean nose, opening over 45 minutes to show pleasant aromas of cocoa, tea, raspberries, smoke and a hint of brier. Medium-bodied on the palate, with overtly sour acidity and a hollow mid-palate essentially devoid of flavor. The tannins are medium and coarse, and the finish is tart. This wine scores above 70 points only by virtue of its nose.

Beautiful black-cherry nose. After 1 hr. in the decanter the mid-palate came around. Full, with smooth tannins.
