Tasting notes
Bottle variation at first seemed a problem, but recent tastings of this wine have been consistent. This is a medium-bodied, spicy, plummy, cherryish-flavored wine, with good extract, an appealing texture, and pleasant finish. It could use more flavor dimension and depth as the wine is compact. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 12/89.
