OK but was hoping for better. Tannins are fully resolved leaving a slightly sweet feel to the palate. Jube like quality on the fruit which I'm not a fan of. Should have been drunk earlier for better balance.

Balanced oak and fruit with the latter subsiding. Better after some decanting. Nearing the end of its drinking window. Still worth a shot though.
