At first, the Oak was just too overpowering (87 points) but after giving it a few hours of air it settled down and came together much better. Surprising level of rich blue/black fruits. Smooth. Not a long finish but a very pleasant wine with sweet and slightly vanilla Oak throughout

Aromatic lead and red fruit, silken pliant waves of spice cocoa with a vanillin backdrop, drinking at the top of it's form.
