It may have rated higher but I feel it was poorly placed in the line up. It should have been second to last and not first. Big... big... wine! In fact you may want to leave any you have for your children or grandchildren.

Solid example in an off vintage, but sometimes this is where the gems are, showing a predominate oak influence, but it's because the fruit never really lived up to it.
