Firm tannins and fresh cherry/berry acids. Nice oak components without being too heavy handed. This is a really nice food wine. I just pulled this 2006 from my non- climate controlled wine storage giving it a 50% chance of being vinegar. The cork was super firm. Built for the duration. The wine actually needs to open a bit, but it appears to be prefect in spite of general house temps up to 75 F. Nice!
