Quite dry, the oak was a bit bitter and harsh. Somewhat old world styling, besides the stronger American oak. Not my favorite, but after a little while in the glass became drinkable. Probably wouldn't buy again.

Open and let this breath for 45 min you won't regret it. In my opinion it ranks better than what the ratings may indicate. Wonderful flavor smooth and nicely balanced. This may be peaking so I suggest drinking now if you have some.

Has aged very nicely, and the cork was in excellent condition. Could have gone another 5 years easily. Good wine for the price point.

Very dry. Light-medium bodied. Uninteresting. Spices and earth. Overpriced.
