Tasting notes
Another rather hollow, commercial style of wine that shows vegetal aromas along with herbal tea, licorice, and some faded candied cherry notes. The color is an evolved medium ruby with plenty of amber. The wine’s finish is short, medium-bodied., with evidence of dilution. Anticipated maturity: Drink it up. Last tasted, 2/02.

Simple, chunky, not very deep or long. solid but nothing special. Consistent with first Wine Spectator review in 1989. Drinkable now and could improve through 2001.--Trotanoy vertical. –Harvey Steiman, Wine Spectator 1994
