I didn't perceive a fault with this bottle, but I can't help wondering if I shouldn't try another. This was really thin on the body and very light in structure, not at all what I'd expected. There was enticing wet slate, graphite, blackberries and cassis on the nose; this didn't materialize much on the palate. Acid felt a bit out of proportion for the lighter body. Tannins were very smooth.
