I'll not spend any time grading this wine, though I think the previous tasting commentary of "OWR", will suffice. He says oak. I initially thought my sample was corked. Either way, it is flawed and the grape juice was masked by said flaw... Like wood chips or the like. Dismal.
It can happen I know, but, I think I'll not repeat this purchase again.
PS- Drink the rainbow!

from the get go it was oak driven and lacked fruit, there was plenty of cedar to compensate. As it sat open some fruit notes did begin to emerge cassis, dried blackberry, along with some floral notes and lots of smoke; but this one seems to be a victim of time as that oak just never drops out, and that's something I found very disappointing considering the year.

smoky, burnt-mocha, earthy, cedary ... opened for about an hour and still nothing seems to be coming out to make it really something enjoyable.

Vin rond aux arômes de boisé, fruits mûrs, cerise et fleur. Bel équilibre, se boit très bien
