Richard Kelley MW: Polished. Light appearance. Yellow/orange. Good graduation. Clean on the nose, if a little closed and not very expressive.
The palate is much more open, with a faintly high-toned presence. Racy acidity, the volatility adds to the overall complexity. A little phenolic grip to the finish.
This is a surprisingly light and delicate wine for what was, for the time, a very hot vintage.
