Opulent and fruit forward with toasty, chocolatey oak framing this medium(+)-bodied and generous offering. Drink very well, but lacks a sincere structure. Sexy and accessible.

Decanted an hour. Balanced wine with dark color, good fruit, medium tannins and acidity. Developed more over time. Could age a little longer but approachable now
