Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Already showing some signs of oxidation, which has softened but not integrated the flavors. This is a disjointed wine, tannic, spicy, with a sweet cracker flavor that falls off into an empty mid-palate before heading into very dry, very chalky tannins at the finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Clearly an ambitious effort, but one that’s raisiny and roasted, with pruny, burnt flavors and a healthy dose of astringency.

Grassy and herbaceous style, showing light, lemony fruit and mouth-puckering acid.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Simple, tart, green apple fruit awkwardly married to hard, tannic oak. Nothing comes together; the fruit seems thin and the oak tags a bitter, woody finish onto it.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A distinct scent of garlic rises from the glass; not a good beginning. This is sugary sweet, awkward, and disjointed.
