Drinking well now but I strongly recommend holding this if you have multiple bottles or will power. The fruit is there without being over the top, but this is indeed a fruit forward wine that has a tremendous palate presence backed by essence of new oak and plenty of tannins. The acidity is moderate, definitely enough to support the fruit, but again, I'd like to see this one down the road. Nice wine for sure.
