Another unsuccessful 1993, this wine's hard, chalky, astringent tannin makes it a dubious bet for tasty drinking. Lean, hollow, and fruitless, this wine does offer a deceptively pleasing nose of ripe Syrah fruit, but after the pleasant smells, the fun is over. It will continue to dry out as it evolves.
