Med ruby, orange tint, gobs of vanillan oak on nose, mocha faint fruit, b3+, a3, t4+, thick Y rich on palate w/mocha, & some spicy fruit, mint, velvety texture w/shart tannic backbone, nice if it weren't for all the oak!, turns a bit more rustic w/air, d4, way too much wood, overpowers what might have been good fruit (3.5)
