Lean, mildly green aromas offer minimal fruit, and there’s a salinic, swimming pool set of aromas as well. The palate is fairly thick and solid, with big tannins and flavors of candied fruits and carob that lean toward green. Shows big body and weight, but the nose is only fair while the flavors are herbal. ——M.S.(3/1/2011)—— 84
