Too much oak for me, both the nose and in the tannins. Underneath the wood is some black cherry and other darker fruit, but this was a bad time to open this bottle.

Nice silky mouthfeel with tanins and spice and muted fruit on the palate. Finishes with slightly tart fruit of cranberries and rasberries. Might have waited a bit too long to drink.

Drank over two nights....pretty good both nights. First night slightly more fruity with blackberry being the dominate flavor along with some plum and herb. Second night, the blackberry was still very prominent, but more earthy flavors too (mushroom, allspice). Pretty tart, fairly long finish. 87-88
