I've mixed feelings on this one. It's certainly a well made wine, and it's ready to drink. What I didn't like though is the cheap oak smell on the nose, and the sugary fruits on the palate. Not my style of wine, but I can definitely see it pairing well with steak or strong cheese.
Second day the oak was better integrated and there was no off putting smell. Based on that I'd say it may need a bit more bottle time to integrate better.
