Noticeably ripe yet slightly too narrow at the same time, this one confuses the issues by having its feet in both the overdone camp and the somewhat underinflated camp. Its early palatal fullness turns out to be misleading, and while it has alcohol aplenty, it is not quite deep enough.

Rating for United States-Oregon: 92 (good year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: unpredictable<br/>
