For whatever reason, this wine has always been loosely knit, exhibited less than stellar concentration, and an open-knit, commercial-like style. It possesses a moderately intense, sweet, red currant-scented nose intermingled with earth, herbs, and spice. On the palate, the wine begins well, but lacks the concentration and ripeness expected in a top estate in a very good vintage.
