Promising but a little disjointed ... this wine showed some complexity but the alcohol is throwing pff the balance at the moment. Banana, spice box, red fruits, and alcohol dominated the nose. Dark cherry, spice, vanilla and caramel came through on the palate as this wine spent 18 mos. in Fr. oak. You could drink now but I would recommend 2 more years of bottle ageing.

Solid wine. Still has good fruit but alcohol now dominates on the finish as it has aged beyond its peak.

Mellowed nicely after 6 years of resting. Tannins quite low.
