More fruit remains than structure, very dark fruit, obvious oak influence. Good mouth feel, mid-length. I figured the second day this would fall off, but in fact it got a bit better and even showed more structure, surprisingly.

Multi hour decant, rich on the nose with dark fruit, vanilla, chocolate and dirt. The palate is big but balanced, with well integrated tannins and loose acidity. Time in oak is pronounced but not over stated, with blackberry and very dark cherry along with mocha standing out. A large mouthfeel with a reasonably long finish. Overpriced for what it delivers but enjoyable, don't think more cellar time will add much to its complexity.

Color is fine. On the nose though, while there is some dark cherry, there is also some notes of stewed prune. And on the palate, there's definitely signs the wine was cooked somehow. Worrisome as I bought this retail on release and it's been in the cellar since. But I'm not going to rate.
