| 90-95 | Excellent | True to variety and region, with terrific complexity and balance. While not a wine for the ages, a superior example. |

Nose: hay, 'cassis', hickory
Mouthfeel: round and silky, medium weight, but no real flavor dynamics, which isn't good because I get hints of cigarettes and parsley, which I don't like (moreso the parsley)
Finish: not long, thin, a bit of citrus and pepper, and a hint of that 'I just barbecued all afternoon and now I smell like smoke' flavor (probably related to the hickory above)
Not really a fan of this one. If it didn't have so much carbon-related flavor, I'd be more tolerant of the lack of richness or complexity. Of course it's better given an hour or two to breathe, but still unimpressive.
