Bright fruit colored by some vanilla French oak, but with enough savoriness to get away with it. Could use a little more structure, but I appreciate that it isn't pushing the ripeness envelope.

Earth, tobacco, dried cherry. Loaded with tannin. Will age another decade no problem. Integrated oak that doesn't poke out on the palate.
