Not run-of-the-mill on the bouquet, where floral notes dance with dark fruit aromas, shoe polish and oil. The palate is more closed and choppy than ideal, with a gritty mouthfeel, ribald tannins and a closed palate that is focused but short. Not an overly generous wine, but it does walk the straight and narrow on its way to an honest ending.
