Showing more finesse and balance now but still, this wine is over-oaked for a French wine, the whole body is big chunky smoked fruits and oak dominated. Well integrated but too much for my tastes, reminds me a big but boring California Syrah.

Very dense and big wine with heavy vanilla, toasty oak and cooked plums dominating. It should mellow out with some time, too much oak and heat right now.
