Tobacco and spice, some dark fruit wanting to peak through, but the heavy oak leads the way. Bitter chocolate and charred stewed fruits. While the oak is not rough, it dominates way too much. Drying tannins in the end as well. I can see some people thinking this might be good, but it's lopsided and over oaked. I do not think it will come around to balance at all. Looks like it was dumped at Costco for about half off in price for a reason, at least this 2020 vintage.
