Details
This is much nicer than I expected. Good color, nice nose, lots of dark fruit, but this is offset by reasonable acidity and some chalky tannins. Not much oak. Pleasant, fairly long finish. Much power or complexity, but for a second wine delivers more than one would expect. A fairly simple, but satisfying, well drink now, and will continue for a few years.
