A still youthful dark ruby with a pink rim, this wine shows notes of wet earth, red currants, mushroom, and spice box. The wine is medium-bodied, has a sort of liquid minerality, good sweet fruit on the attack, but then a relatively dry, astringent, harsh finish. This is typical of so many vintages of this wine that are just difficult for anyone with a modern-day taste for fruit to appreciate.
Rene Gabriel rates this wine 17/20 points.
