loads of oak (almost to much) big cedar, tobacco, cinnamon, creamed butter. Decanted for 1 hr. to get it to open up with very little change. Next day it finally smoothed out some. This needs a few more years in the bottle.

I like this wine! This is not a syrah blend. My mistake on setting up the descriptor. This is a sangiovesi (sp). Bright, lots of up front fruit. We had it with burgers at Shorties house. I will get more.
