Big fruit, smooth tannins. An otherwise lovely wine is positively ruined by a hyper use of oak. Result is a wine I would not want to drink a second bottle of, nor would I look forward to trying it again. Classic case of more (oak) is less.

Angular, tight, edgy, bitter, fruit way in the background. Had alongside a 2005 Fixin. This was a very distant second. I hope this was an anomaly
