Very nice notes of blackberry, plum and vanilla. A bit young and will soften. Delicious!

Acidity and French oak is intrusive, not enough local character. It does have dimensionality and polish, thanks to the expert farming and winemaking skill. Good wine but seems indifferent and little complacent.
