Tasting notes
The weedy, cedary bouquet lacks fruit. In the mouth, the wine is light, has some annoyingly high acidity, and some vague, curranty, cedary fruitiness. The relatively high acidity will keep the wine alive, but I doubt that it will ever be enjoyable. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 12/89.
