Like many 2002s, this offering reveals an angular quality with more astringent tannin as well as ample vegetal/herbal characteristics. While it exhibits some attractive, sweet, cool climate, red cherry and currant fruit, it does not demonstrate the potential I detected from barrel. It appears to have gone into a dormant stage that should put tasters on guard for potential evolutionary problems given the wine’s high tannin and herbal personality. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2012.
