Fruity nose with dark raspberries and grapes and a bit of warmth from oak without raw oak scents. Soft, light palate, nicely balanced fruit intensity to structure. Showing similar fruit flavors to the nose, a good bit of roundness and fullness on the palate comes from the oak but is overall well integrated. A long finish here as well, still tasting this 10-15 seconds after swallowed. The palate provides no 'wow' factor for me, but there is no doubt this is a very nice OPN that is very well made.

Light, not objectionable but a little washed out.
