Spicy, slightly earthy nose. The taste opens with warm fruit notes, making you expect great things... But it's pretty blasé through the middle of the tongue . Just not much to it. The wine is certainly under-oaked; perhaps this was a particularly rainy vintage? Letting the wine sit on the back of the tongue yields to a slightly spicy finish, but you have to work for it to get there. 6/10.
