The two bottles (one a magnum) tasted were disappointing. Orange/rust-colored to the edge, its loosely knit, flaccid mouthfeel, fading, sugary flavors, and absence of any stuffing or intensity make for a wine that seems to be on the edge of total collapse. I had expected it to show better. In retrospect, it should have all been consumed in its first 5-6 years of life. This great estate can certainly do a far better job than this.
