Distinct chocolate and berries on the nose. Palate is silky but a bit light, with more berries and mocha. The flavor profile is not as lush as I remember from a few years back. Good, but past its prime.

Oak, and more oak, but at least all that wood is propping up the wine, and so it wasn't all that bad. Some rich dark fruit flavors with chocolate notes and loads of vanilla. Finish is silky smooth, not integrated tannins, and medium long length on the finish.
