A subtle and enjoyable wine. Clearly well made. But something missing to get a higher rating and earn its price tag. I think It might be on its way out and I just got a bottle that was mostly out the door.

Brown spices, raisins and dates, decayed leaves, wet oak, smoke, cured ham, beef broth.
On the downslope; still good though, due to its impressive midpalate and balance.
