* Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
A lighter style nose, but sweet and earthen with a nice spicy, somewhat oriental character to the wine; light but nicely focused in the mouth; spicy and fruity with nice balance; well made wine, particularly for this property, but it is lacking in complexity or length; in sum, a pleasant wine that shows enough of the character of the wine to be good, but missing some parts. (17/20)

First nose is quite sweet and rich with lots of black cherry fruit aromas, but that gives way to a more diffuse set of aromas that contain dry earth and leaves, and hints of sour acidity; thin and earthen in the mouth; this wine lacks the ripeness and rich textures of this wine from a good vintage; somewhat thin and watery, although it does contain a fair amount of black fruit; more earthen and dry than appealing, however, and the wine has a somewhat short finish; not a bad effort, but the presence of a weak vintage year is more apparent in this wine than in some others from this year. (15.5/20)
