This reminds me of the Columbia Crest H3 in terms of fruit and sweetness. Slightly over-oaked, excessive vanilla taste at first open (btw - screw top). But, unlike the CC - this has the acidity to back it up - exactly what the CC is missing. And, like the CC a day later the oak has settled down and the whole thing comes together. Still a little light on the tannins. Overall, nice daily drinker, ready now, enjoyed.

Over oaked, jammy, syrupy and heavy handed. Not getting any better with time. Thankfully my last bottle.

Good fruit, over-oaked, too sweet and cough-syrupy

Enjoyable but didn't blow me away. Very fruit forward. Have a second bottle i'll hang onto for a while before trying again.
