This wine is quite young and at this stage is mainly showing off a heavy hand with oak. Fruit will emerge over time - black currant, black cherry, black plum, blackberry and violet are struggling against the heavy oak to come out. This is a high extraction wine, to my palate a little ponderous and out of balance but many will love the wine’s brawny appeal.
