Tasting Notes
This wine seemed more impressive from cask than it is from bottle, as the oak seems to overwhelm much of its personality, and the wine??s austere, astringent tannins are cause for concern. It is concentrated and dark ruby purple, but the oak and tannin excesses seem to suggest an uncertain future. In any event, patience is most definitely required. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2028.
