Briary, sour plummy aromas on the nose are shrouded by a touch of greenness that some described as sulphur, and others called cilantro. Though the mouthfeel is soft and smooth, the wine’s flavors aren’t more complicated than strong blackberry and tart, toasted oak. Lengthy finish has bitter menthol-pepper flavors.——W.E.(10/1/2001)—— 85
