Not really my style. Very ripe and extracted, it’s got chocolatey notes that I associate with but tend not to enjoy in big, ripe wines. The chocolately notes override the nice fruit and gravel notes (which are somewhat overmatched). It’s very full and a bit warm in the mouth. The tannins are there but soft in nature and at an appropriate level in view of the deep fruit. Acidity is low.
