Big and lots of oak, but this has the stuffing to be a fabulous wine down the road. It is very good right now, with a big mouthfeel and obvious, but not overpowering oak. Very nice to have had a chance to taste it at a dinner at Ambrosa.

Decanted several hours. Great nose of ripe full fruit. Medium body. Dark fruits on the palate. Didn't like the balance or a subtle twist in flavor near the finish (light peppermint?). I've gotten the same "twist" in my tastings of la sirena (worse) and screaming eagle (better).
