2018 vintage. Decanted and tasted after two hours. Heavy body. Barely there nose. Too much oak doing too much very lifting. If a wine has this much oak presence in a great vintage, something is being covered up. Have enjoyed other offerings from this producer in the past but this one is missing the main line. If this effort is trying to appeal to a select, vanillin, plushasaurus audience, carry on.
