At 86 points, this wine may be underrated. It has those sorts of nuances and indescribable properties that often get overlooked in blind tastings, like balance, finesse and elegance. The flavors of nectarine and dried spices are supremely harmonious; nothing sticks out, which hurts it in a blind-tasting format, but should help it with a meal. —J.C. ——J.C.(3/1/2003)—— 86
