Thought I smelled sour cherry after popping the cork. Vanilla from the oak is noticeable. Spicy on the palate. Tannin is still a little gripping. I think once it mellows down a bit more, it will be a much better wine. Have another bottle in the cellar and will hold a year or two. Paired well with the grilled baby back ribs we had for dinner.
