This was a very good wine, but considering the top credentials of the producer, and the phenomenal vintage, I think the wine underperforms it's potential.  The nose was a little soft, and the fruit seemed to be fading a little prematurely.  I bought this wine on the secondary market, so improper ageing may have been utilized.

3.25 stars
