It’s a solid wine but it’s not my favorite kind of wine. It’s pretty oaky even at 12 y of age, and not super complex. There is some nice aromas of dried herbs and red cherry and other red fruit, and of course some vanilla and coconut from the oak, but not so much more. It’s relatively long though, and certainly can age much longer. The tannins are still very present
