Wine Critics Notes:

Vinous - Score: 83 (1993 November)

Moderately saturated medium color. Meaty, herbaceous nose with a suggestion of exotic fruits. Fruit shows a sweet/sour character, with a suggestion of stems and hints of prunes and stewed tomato. Seems disjointed today, soft despite the fact that the acidity sticks out: perhaps simply a case of lacking the buffering extract. No particular intensity or length. Tasted from barrel two years ago, this wine seemed considerably riper.
