A touch of overripeness, but otherwise, it’s pretty good. Feels mellow and elegantly structured, with oak-infused black currant and black cherry flavors. Could develop despite that edge of raisins.

Oak dominates this wine. The idea seems to have been Chablis, to judge by the dryness and citrusy minerality. But the char and toast are very strong and the underlying richness isn’t there for balance.
