It seems like there is some good fruit, but it is over-oaked to death. If you like oak, toast, etc. and over-extracted wine, this is good. Not for my palate. I prefer a purer palate.

Opened not decanted. Served at a friend's house. 2nd bottle of the evening. Dark sweet nose of fruit. On the palate: very sweet entry with a dry attack of blackberry with a dusty chocolate finish. Very soft and accessible, but also very flat tasting. Fair to Good.
