Coconut and saline aromas fold in toast, berry and a whiff of green bean. This is a solid wine with a tight, semi-tart personality reflective of the cool, wet vintage that was 2002. So with decent berry, vanilla and tobacco flavors offset by a mildly scratchy mouthfeel, it is more of a success than a miss. Drink now. A Europvin, Christopher Cannan selection, Imported by multiple importers, including Michael Skurnik Wines.——M.S.(6/1/2009)—— 87
