Certainly a big boy, this wine is fruit forward but plenty of structure. Best thing though was as a pairing to an overdue catch-up.

Good, but the new oak overpowered the fruit and any potential for nuance. Would have scored higher but for the overly woody aspect. Give it a few more years to lighten up. Good times. 😐

More oak on the nose than I've encountered in previous vintages. Could be because it came in last week and I need to give it some time. Still excellent, with good balance between deep ripe fruit and savory/mineral notes.
