Lot of oak on the nose. This wine was quite oaky with fruit taking the beck seat. Had it opened for about an hour and by the time we finished the bottle it was still opening up. Good wine overall.

Had at a work event. Left it open for an hour or so. Fresh blueberry and plum on the nose with hints of spice. Taste is very balanced but not as "big" as I thought it would be (not necessarily a bad thing). Some oak with a fair amount of fruit, the wine is very complex with a long finish. Overall a very nice wine. This wine still has plenty of legs to last years down the road.

I loved the last vintage but this one is severely lacking in taste and aroma. Nothing really stands out
